Facebook – Retrieve Access Token without Login?

Hi guys,

How can you retrieve an access token without forcing the user to login? I’ve seen this done before for sites like [url]http://lilithfair.com/[/url] . Look at the “Lilith Fair on Facebook” box in the left.

Unless there’s some hack, you need an access token to get the members (fans / likers / etc) of a page.

See: [url]https://graph.facebook.com/lilithfair/members[/url]

But according to the documentation on Graph API, getting a token requires a login and a redirect. Was some voodoo magic done on Lilith’s site to circumvent this? Any ideas?

Thanks so much,
David

Strange that I'd get much better help here than on Facebook's own developer forums ?

And now... on to learning this stuff.

Success!
