Facebook SDK: Post to a page as the page ID

Question

I am able to post to one of my own pages in Facebook using the Facebook SDK and Winforms and C#. However, when I post the photo or message or whatever, it shows that the item was posted by "Jim Tyminski" and not the page name "ListWithFreedom.com". How do I get the post to show that it came from the group and not my personal ID?

Answer 1

That is not even possible directly in the group, without the API. You can only post as a page (with the correct permissions and Access Token) or as a User (with the User Access Token).

Edit: Posting to a Page as the Page is possible, of course, you just need a Page Access Token instead of the User Access Token. That´s the only Token where you actually have to deal with Tokens, usually the handling is done by the SDKs out there.

Some useful Links:

• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens/
• http://www.devils-heaven.com/facebook-access-tokens/

In general, you have to authorize the User with the " manage_pages " permission, and make an API call to " /me/accounts " to get the Page Access Token for your specific Page. With that Token, you can post as the Page.
