GAE and Facebook auth

Question

I have a app using Google account authentication, i receive a cookie every time the user connects and i make simple HTTP calls using the cookie. Is there something similar i can do with the fb token with a Google App Engine back end?

Answer 1

To authenticate users on your GAE app via FB, you need to implement a server-side auth flow as described here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/

I know you need Python, but still: I implemented GAE-FB auth in Java and released it as part of an OSS project: LeanEngine

There is also an Android client - see LoginDialog.
