    <p>I am trying to find the easiest way how to use Facebook Graph API using my favorite <a href="http://docs.python-requests.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Requests</a> library. The problem is, all examples I found are about getting <strong>user access token</strong>, about redirects and user interaction.</p> <p>All I need is only <strong>application access token</strong>. I do not handle any non-public data, so I need no user interaction and as my final app is supposed to be command-line script, no redirects are desired.</p> <p>I found something similar <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3058723/programmatically-getting-an-access-token-for-using-the-facebook-graph-api">here</a>, but it seems to be everything but elegant. Moreover, I would prefer something using <a href="http://docs.python-requests.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Requests</a> or <a href="https://github.com/maraujop/requests-oauth2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Requests-OAuth2</a>. Or maybe there is library for that? I found <a href="https://github.com/maraujop/requests-oauth2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Requests-Facebook</a> and <a href="https://github.com/jgorset/facepy" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Facepy</a> (both Requests based), but again, all examples are with redirection, etc. Facepy does not handle authorization at all, it just accepts your token and it is up to you to get it somehow.</p> <p>Could someone, please, provide a short, sane, working example how to get just the application access token?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
