title: Facebook Graph API - Using, 'app access token' to fetch facebook page feeds (Solution)
body: <p>Well, this may sound strange. When a facebook application is configured to be a Native/Desktop app (Apps->Your APP->Advanced->App type), the 'app access token' obtain from this procedure </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><a href="https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token" rel="noreferrer">https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token</a>?" + "client_id=" +
    APP_ID + "&amp;client_secret=" + APP_SEC +
    "&amp;grant_type=client_credentials"</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Will not work, to fetch feeds or post from a Facebook page. As per facebook documentation 
  fetching  feeds only requires <strong>any valid access_token or user access_token</strong>, strange enough it doesn't work this way, if the app is configured to be Native/Desktop. </p>
  
  <p><a href="http://forum.developers.facebook.net/viewtopic.php?pid=349550" rel="noreferrer">1</a> Solution, found after a days research, came to frustrating conclusion that it has to be configured as 'web' based application in (Apps->Your APP->Advanced->App type).</p>
  
  <p>Once set up, the above procedure to fetch feeds works.This gives raise to a question, is this a bug ? or have i misunderstood the documentation.  </p>
  
  <p>I hope i have saved a day for you, if you have been working on facebook page feeds these days and pulling your hair off, out of frustration for obvious reasons.  </p>
