How to access page data using ezfb.api('/PageID') ? about angular-easyfb HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @alexinm ,

This is an FB JS SDK usage issue.

The error message is caused by trying to access APIs that require you being connected to the FB app.
Which means you should call .getLoginStatus() to check if you're already connected. If not, call .login() to prompt for login/connect with Facebook.

.controller('SomeCtrl', function ($scope, ezfb, $log) {

  $scope.displayLoginButton = false;

  ezfb.getLoginStatus()
  .then(function (res) {
    if (response.status === 'connected') {
      // the user is logged in and has authenticated your
      // app, and response.authResponse supplies
      // the user's ID, a valid access token, a signed
      // request, and the time the access token 
      // and signed request each expire
      var uid = response.authResponse.userID;
      var accessToken = response.authResponse.accessToken;

      ezfb.api('/Page_ID').then(function (res) {
        $log.debug('page id result:', res);
      });

    } else if (response.status === 'not_authorized') {
      // the user is logged in to Facebook, 
      // but has not authenticated your app

      $scope.displayLoginButton = true;

    } else {
      // the user isn't logged in to Facebook.

      $scope.displayLoginButton = true;
    }
  });

})

To ensure that you access APIs with access token, always call .getLoginStatus() before any another API calls if you're calling APIs for the first time after a page load.

Refer to Facebook's official JS SDK documentation:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.getLoginStatus

Hi ,
Thanks for the quick reply !
So basically the answer is what I was afraid from, I will require the user to login to see the page data.
But after spending too much time on stackoverflow I just accidently stumbled on a simple solution of
graph.facebook.com/Page_ID :) , it gives me the json with all the page data without any token or anything else .....
I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature but it works for now

Thanks !
