Learn how to find and upload your iOS and Android Service files, Facebook ID And client Tokens to market within your Control Panel to start marketing your App on Facebook!
Facebook ID
Open Facebook for Developers
Note: You will be able to see your apps from this page; however, if you need to create a new app, click the green “Create App’ button in the top right corner of the Apps page.
At the top left of your screen next to the drop-down menu, select your App ID and copy it.
Return to the Integrations page within your control panel under Advanced, and paste it on Step 3 of this page: ‘App Facebook ID’ - click the green Save button.
 Note: When you advertise on Facebook, your ad accounts are given unique ID numbers. These ID numbers are useful when adding an account to Facebook Business Manager. |
Like App tokens, Client tokens make Graph API requests on behalf of apps instead of users.
Unlike other tokens, Client Access Tokens cannot be used in requests on their own, they must be combined with your App ID. To do this, append your token to the end of your App ID, separated by a pipe symbol (|):
{app-id}|{client-token}
For example:
access_token=1234|5678
To get the Client Access Token for an app, do the following:
Sign into your developer account.
On the Apps page, select an app to open the dashboard for that app.
On the Dashboard, navigate to Settings > Advanced > Security > Client token.
Access Token Length
Expect that the length of all access token types will change over time as Facebook makes changes to what is stored in them and how they are encoded. You can expect that they will grow and shrink over time. Please use a variable length data type without a specific maximum size to store access tokens.
Requirement to embed Client Tokens in the SDK takes effect:
Starting with the release of Platform SDK v13.0, developers are now required to embed a Client Token in the SDK for Graph API calls. The inclusion of Client Tokens in the SDK enables us to analyze platform issues more effectively and enhance the performance of the platform as a whole. With the launch of Platform SDK v13.0, we will now use Client Tokens for processing Graph API calls when an Access or Authentication Token is unavailable. As a result, any apps using SDK v13.0 and above that do not include a Client Token will raise an exception upon initialization of the SDK. Developers can learn more about how to embed their App’s Client Token in the Android SDK here and in the iOS SDK here to avoid any service disruption.
