I have a site where I need to manually specify the content (and Url since some parameters need to be added depending on which facebook share link i press) in the facebook share-dialouge. I've got it to work now as developer but do I really need to submit an app request for the "app" and thereby create an "my app page" on facebook for the "app"? (I have a business page for my business)

All I want to do is use the facebook api to share my page content. Please give me an explanation for dummies because I'm getting really tired of Facebook right now.

(No I can't use addThis)

Thanks for the help!

  • You don't need to create an app page and the "request" will be immediately processed. – ZippyV Oct 13 '14 at 15:18
  • So the "app-page" is voluntarily after the submission? It won't be created by default? – Andreas Oct 13 '14 at 15:21

    I got a dozen of "apps" and never made an app page. Even if I would have one I don't think anyone can find it. – ZippyV Oct 13 '14 at 15:31

Not sure if you don't confuse some stuff. have a look at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/web/share to get an overview about sharing on the FB platform.

You can use the Social Plugins for your Use Case I guess:

  • Thanks for the answer. If I'm not mistaken it still requires an app id which means that I have to submit an application? – Andreas Oct 13 '14 at 15:20

    No you don't need to submit the app to get an app id. You can read about the review process here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.1#review – WizKid Oct 13 '14 at 15:27
  • Exactly. You can use the app without submission. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review/login#do-you-need-review – Tobi Oct 13 '14 at 15:34
  • Don't know how you found those support pages but they helped a lot with understanding when you ned to submit the app and when you don't have to. – Andreas Oct 13 '14 at 16:01
  • Well I'm still pretty confused. I created an app just to get an `app_id` for the sharing dialog, but it only works when I'm logged in with the developer FB a/c. To submit for review I'm going to have to jump over yet more hurdles, but I don't really want a searchable app just to open a sharing dialog... Unless it's intended that you take the `app_id` straight from the examples [here](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/web)? `https://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed? app_id=145634995501895...` – contrebis Nov 30 '15 at 16:06
