    <p>I am trying to get the number of likes my PAGE has at various times in the past using the FQL Insights API. To do this, I need a page access_token. The get a page access_token I need a user access_token. However, the only way I know how to get a user access token is to go here: <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer" rel="nofollow">https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer</a> and click "Get Access Token" and then copy and paste.</p> <p>I can then get the PAGE access_token by running the following request: <a href="https://graph.facebook.com/PAGE_ID?fields=access_token&amp;access_token=USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" rel="nofollow">https://graph.facebook.com/PAGE_ID?fields=access_token&amp;access_token=USER_ACCESS_TOKEN</a></p> <p>And then I can get the number of likes using the following request: <a href="https://graph.facebook.com/fql?access_token=PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN&amp;q=SELECT" rel="nofollow">https://graph.facebook.com/fql?access_token=PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN&amp;q=SELECT</a> metric, value FROM insights WHERE object_id=PAGE_ID AND metric='page_fans' AND end_time=end_time_date('2013-05-15') AND period=period('lifetime')</p> <p>So I can do everything dynamically and automatically EXCEPT getting my user access token. That's my big problem. The user access token that I get manually will expire and then I will have to get another one for my script to work. How can I get my user access token dynamically with PHP? My user account has the necessary permissions on the page, if it's of any consequence.</p> <p>Thanks for any help you can give.</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.
