Step 1: Get Facebook Access Token

1. Go to the Meta for Developers website.

2. Login with your Facebook account and click “My Apps” from the top right.

3. Create a new app by selecting Business App or use an existing one.

4. Once inside your app dashboard:

   • Navigate to Tools > Graph API Explorer.

   • Select your app from the top dropdown.

   • Set the method to GET and version to the latest (e.g., v19.0).

   • Click “Get Token” > Get User Access Token.

   • Select permissions like:

     • pages_show_list

     • pages_read_engagement

     • pages_read_user_content

     • public_profile

   • Click Generate Access Token.

5. Copy the access token shown — this is what you’ll paste in the app.

⚠️ The token may expire after 1 hour unless you extend it using the Access Token Tool under your app settings.

Step 2: Get Page ID

1. Visit: https://graph.facebook.com/v19.0/me/accounts?access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

2. This will return a JSON response with a list of your Facebook Pages.

3. Copy the id of the page you want to analyze — that is your Page ID.

4. Optionally note the name field if you want to confirm it’s the correct page.

Step 3: Get Post ID

1. Visit:
   https://graph.facebook.com/v19.0/PAGE_ID/posts?fields=id,message,created_time&access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

2. This will return the most recent posts by that page.

3. Copy the full id of a post (e.g., 1234567890_0987654321) — this is your Post ID.

   • The format is usually: PageID_PostID

4. Paste this in the app to analyze the comments and engagement on that post.
