Take the 2-minute tour ×

I am trying to get a list of my pages and applications using the corresponding Graph API call users/accounts (http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=me%2Faccounts).

However I just recieve an empty array despite of having pages created on my personal account.

I am successfully authenticated with all access rights I can assign vía my personal account configuration page.

According to the API Docs the required permissions to access the user/accounts info is "manage_pages yields access_tokens that can be used to query the Graph API on behalf of the app/page".

But what does that mean in terms of granting permissions? Is there any special permission step required to see the real data instead of an empy array?

You should definitely read about the Authentication flows in the Facebook api docs ;-) developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication You always need to request permissions from the user. –  Björn Kaiser Dec 7 '11 at 15:19

Check the Authentication and Permissions documentation - you need an access_token with manage_pages permission in order to access a user's list of pages and retrieve the page access token for one of them
