Basic Tab

After authenticating to Facebook with your user account, you can post, etc. as one of the pages you manage: Set the AuthenticateAsPage property to the Id of the page you want. You can find the Ids for all pages your account has access to by querying the Pages view.

Facebook has made a number of recent changes that require page tokens for most resources owned by a page. This can be troublesome if you manage multiple pages and want to execute the same queries across all pages (such as retrieving Insights). In order to make this work seamlessly with our tools, we have added a way to automatically detect the page token to use. For this to work, simply do not specify the AuthenticateAsPage. Note that the correct page token can only be resolved if the page id is specified as part of the target in the request. This means for some requests you will still need to manually specify AuthenticateAsPage.

You may find while using the adapter that Facebook returns an error stating your app does not have permissions to do a certain action. To resolve this, you will need to generate a new OAuth access token with the required permissions. Set the Permissions property in the authentication step.

You can find a list of available Facebook permissions here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/permissions/.

• Target: Some Facebook tables can be filtered by a target. For example, to retrieve comments on a video, specify the Id of the video as the target. This property enables you to restrict the results of all queries in the connection to records that match the specified target. You can also specify this restriction per query with the Target column.

• AggregateFormat: The adapter returns some columns as a string aggregate. For example, the available likes data for an entity is returned in aggregate. By default, the adapter returns aggregate columns in JSON. You can also return aggregates in XML.
