    <p>First, you need to get an access token (there is no getting around this). This is done via an OAuth Dialog where the user signs-in and provides the required permission. You will have to request the "offline_access" and "read_stream" permissions to do what you are trying to. Getting the access_token is pretty simple. Follow the instruction here: <a href="http://osnapz.wordpress.com/2010/04/23/using-asp-net-with-facebooks-graph-api-and-oauth-2-0-authentication/" rel="nofollow">http://osnapz.wordpress.com/2010/04/23/using-asp-net-with-facebooks-graph-api-and-oauth-2-0-authentication/</a></p> <p>Also, read up Facebook's documentation: <a href="http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/" rel="nofollow">http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/</a></p> <p>You will have to store your access token somewhere for later use (this is the infinite session key)</p> <p>After you get the access token, you can call the graph API directly:</p> <pre>https://graph.facebook.com/me/feed/?access_token=YOUR-TOKEN-HERE</pre> <p>OR you can use the Facebook C# SDK (recommended).</p> <p>FYI, the link you posted is out-dated and Facebook will not support that method soon.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE - MANUAL WAY OF GETTING AN ACCESS TOKEN:</strong></p> <p>Since you are only interested in your data, so you will only have to get the access token ONCE. Of course, you will have to do this again if you change your password.</p> <p>I will detail a manual way of getting your token.</p> <ol> <li>Make sure you are using Firefox. It actually displays JSON strings.</li> <li>Navigate to this URL. Add your App ID, callback-url (this should match the domain you in your registration). I have added a lot of permissions.</li> </ol> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?display=popup&amp;client_id=YOUR-APP-ID&amp;redirect_uri=YOUR-CALLBACK-URL&amp;scope=offline_access,read_stream,email,read_insights,user_events,user_groups,user_interests,user_likes,user_location,user_notes,user_photo_video_tags,user_photos,user_relationships,user_religion_politics,user_status,user_videos,user_website,user_work_history,read_friendlists,read_requests,friends_likes,friends_location,friends_notes,friends_photo_video_tags,friends_photos,friends_relationships,friends_religion_politics,friends_status,friends_videos,friends_website,friends_work_history,user_checkins,friends_checkins" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?display=popup&amp;client_id=YOUR-APP-ID&amp;redirect_uri=YOUR-CALLBACK-URL&amp;scope=offline_access,read_stream,email,read_insights,user_events,user_groups,user_interests,user_likes,user_location,user_notes,user_photo_video_tags,user_photos,user_relationships,user_religion_politics,user_status,user_videos,user_website,user_work_history,read_friendlists,read_requests,friends_likes,friends_location,friends_notes,friends_photo_video_tags,friends_photos,friends_relationships,friends_religion_politics,friends_status,friends_videos,friends_website,friends_work_history,user_checkins,friends_checkins</a></p> <ol> <li><p>Once you authenticate and "Allow", Facebook will redirect to your callback URL is a "code" parameter. Make a note of this parameter.</p></li> <li><p>Now call another URL, add your app id, api secret, and the code.</p></li> </ol> <p><a href="https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=YOUR-APP-ID&amp;redirect_uri=YOUR-CALLBACK-URL&amp;client_secret=API-SECRET&amp;code=CODE-YOUR-COPIED-BEFORE" rel="nofollow">https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=YOUR-APP-ID&amp;redirect_uri=YOUR-CALLBACK-URL&amp;client_secret=API-SECRET&amp;code=CODE-YOUR-COPIED-BEFORE</a></p> <ol> <li><p>Calling the URL above will display the access token in the browser. Save this access token. Now you can use this token to make API calls on your behalf.</p></li> <li><p>Remember, you will have go through this process again if you change your password.</p></li> </ol> <p>This is a manual way and only intended in your scenario where you are only interested in your data. I do this for testing purposes.</p>

    1. COThanks for the advice dotnetster I'll give it a go. I don't understand why a developer has to go through the login procedure when it's their data (i.e. relates to their API Key etc). I don't want people to post comments or access their data, all I want is to request my wall data as JSON in VB.Net. Wouldn't it be better to be able to just use an ID/API Key/Secret combination in my ASP.Net, thus validating myself, then just get the JSON (this is the way all the other API's I currently use work)? It seem so unnecessarily complicated that I'm questioning whether I've completely misunderstood!

    2. COThe API is meant for a developer to develop applications that serve their user community. Hence, the security features. The API key/secret is for your application, not your user account. You still have to go through the same procedure of authentication before you can access your information.

    3. COI will suggest another option, a VERY manual one.

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
