I'm having some trouble understanding the steps I need to take in order to make basic requests to the Facebook API. I've been reading the documentation, and having a play with the Graph Explorer, however I'm a little confused getting started.
I'm making a game application for a University submission, for which Facebook integration is a small but important part. I will be submitting this application on disk, and it will need to work when the HTML page is launched from this disk - this is where I'm getting a little stuck. I'm not sure if I'm overthinking this, but I seem to need to register as a Facebook Developer and set up an application domain. Is this necessary? I won't be able to host this application online, it will have to be submitted on disk.
So, my questions are -
Is it possible to include basic Facebook integration without hosting the application online? (Login, retrieval of a list of the user's friend's
ids)(If this is possible) what do I need to do to handle the basic 'setup' of Facebook integration? I've been looking at the Javascript SDK reference and I see I need to have my appId and channelUrl for the Loading and Initialization. I see the appId quite clearly in the App Dashboard, however it is the channelURL I am having trouble with.
I hope that makes sense :) Loading and initializing the framework and then making Graph API calls seems pretty straightforward - I'm just not sure if it's possible without hosting the application online.
Cheers!
