I am just starting out looking at Facebook applications. I am planning to make an app – where should post photos to users walls or photo albums. It happens typically days after they have installed the app.
I have read that there exists different tokens. User tokens which expires after some time and App tokens, which does not expire. I have made some experiments – and must admit I am a bit confused. I tried getting tokens for 2 different users. The user tokens were different (of course). However, the App tokens was not? My questions are.
- Is the App token always the same for all users?
- Must I also get a user token from a user of my app when I have an App token?
EDIT: Since I posted this yesterday – I have realized that I need to make my questions clearer.
- Is the App Token only to be used with access to information about the application itself – or is it e.g. used to achieve a non-expiring possibility to post to a user’s own wall?
- If I want to be able to post a photo to a users wall long after he has been using my app last. Should I when use an App Token or a User Token?
