    <p>Beginner here, and I've been getting lost in the Facebook developer docs and Google for hours. I'm sure this is a simple question, but I just need some direction.</p> <p>What I'm trying to do: query latest post of a page owner from a public Facebook page with JavaScript and parse it to display within my own HTML (can't use a <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/" rel="nofollow">Social Plugin</a> - I need custom control over HTML/CSS).</p> <p>What I've got working so far:</p> <pre><code>var token = '&lt;my_token&gt;'; var query = 'fields=posts.limit(1)'; var request = 'https://graph.facebook.com/[mypage]?' + query + '&amp;access_token=' + token; $.getJSON(request, function(response) { alert(response.posts.data[0].message); }); </code></pre> <p>This does work, however, the <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/access_token?q=" rel="nofollow">Access Token debugger</a> says my access_token is going to expire in 2 months. Why? It's a public Facebook page, and I only want to query the page owner's latest comment. Do I really need to create a Facebook App and login via PHP to just to access this public information?</p> <p>I'm doing the exact same thing with a Twitter feed and all I had to do was $.getJSON <a href="http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/" rel="nofollow">http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/</a>.json, completely in JavaScript.</p> <p>It seems getting similar information from Facebook is much more difficult, but perhaps I'm going about it the wrong way?</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.
