Wrapping Up and Next Steps
Let's wrap up the course.
You made it!
Great job! In this course, we have covered a lot of material.
In terms of concepts, you learned about:
- The Facebook Graph API structure, with its nodes, edges, and fields.
- Authentication, authorization, and permission scopes.
- Facebook’s use of access tokens for authorization.
- The “Login with Facebook” authorization flow and its relationship to OAuth2.
Then, through hands-on learning, we covered the following:
- Setting up a Facebook App with Facebook Login and test users
- Obtaining a short-lived access token
- Inspecting a token
- Exchanging a short-lived access token for a long-lived access token
- Attaching an access token to your Graph API requests
- Making requests of the Graph API endpoints, including user, user feed, and user friends
- Working with fields when making requests
- Pagination and limiting result set sizes
Again, that is a lot. You are definitely set up with a strong foundation to begin exploring the Graph API further on your own.
You can always refer to the Graph API documentation for details.
