The Graph API is the core of Facebook
Platform for Development
► Open Graph Theory
Authentication
► Facebook authentication enables your app to interact
with the Graph API on behalf of Facebook users and
provides a powerful single-sign on mechanism across
Web, mobile, and desktop apps.
Tools For Developer
► Insights, Graph API Explorer, JavaScript Test Console,
Test Users, URL Linter .
6. Access Token
Authenticating as an Application allows your application to
obtain an App Access Token.
Obtain an App Access Token.
► The API will respond with a query-string formatted string of the form.
► You should parse this string, and use the value in the access_token
parameter to to the API.
► App access tokens do not expire unless you refresh you app's App
Secret.
Make requests to the API.
► An app access token allows you to make requests as an application,
not a user.
► To retrieve the details of your application, perform an HTTP GET.
► To read your applications insights data, perform an HTTP GET.
String Format
► Https://[REDIRECTURL]#access_token=[ACCESS_TOKEN]

Allow Other way.- Handling Expired Access Tokens.
Currently the long-lived user access_token will be valid for
60 days while the short-lived user access_tokens are valid

grants your app access to their basic information.
If you want to read additional data or write data to Facebook,
