[R] Using R to get updated access token on FB Graph API?

[Chichi Shu]

Thanks, Ista. I think RFacebook package is using HTTR to get access token too. So I don’t have to use it separately to get access token.

Once someone creates an app ID and secret, do they ever expire? I can’t find any information online about the expiration of App ID and App secret so I’m assuming they don’t ever become invalid?

Take a look at the httr package, there is a Facebook example in the package demos.

Best,

  Hi, R users,

  Is it possible to use R to obtain access token to Facebook API automatically? The access token generated in Facebook Graph API expires very soon so I'd like to use R to generate new access token and grab it and save it to a variable automatically every 60 days.

  Is it possible? If so, which packages should I use? Could someone shed light?

  Thanks!
