Facebook OAuth 2 TutorialΒΆ

Setup a new web application client in the Facebook APP console When you have obtained a client_id, client_secret and registered a callback URL then you can try out the command line interactive example below.

>>> # Credentials you get from registering a new application
>>> client_id = '<the id you get from facebook>'
>>> client_secret = '<the secret you get from facebook>'

>>> # OAuth endpoints given in the Facebook API documentation
>>> authorization_base_url = 'https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth'
>>> token_url = 'https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token'
>>> redirect_uri = 'https://localhost/'     # Should match Site URL

>>> from requests_oauthlib import OAuth2Session
>>> from requests_oauthlib.compliance_fixes import facebook_compliance_fix
>>> facebook = OAuth2Session(client_id, redirect_uri=redirect_uri)
>>> facebook = facebook_compliance_fix(facebook)

>>> # Redirect user to Facebook for authorization
>>> authorization_url, state = facebook.authorization_url(authorization_base_url)
>>> print 'Please go here and authorize,', authorization_url

>>> # Get the authorization verifier code from the callback url
>>> redirect_response = raw_input('Paste the full redirect URL here:')

>>> # Fetch the access token
>>> facebook.fetch_token(token_url, client_secret=client_secret,
..>                      authorization_response=redirect_response)

>>> # Fetch a protected resource, i.e. user profile
>>> r = facebook.get('https://graph.facebook.com/me?')
>>> print r.content
