    • debugToken

      FacebookClient.DebugTokenInfo debugToken(String inputToken)

      When working with access tokens, you may need to check what information is associated with them, such as its user or expiry. To get this information you can use the debug tool in the developer site, or you can use this function.

      You must instantiate your FacebookClient using your App Access Token, or a valid User Access Token from a developer of the app.

      Note that if your app is set to Native/Desktop in the Advanced settings of your App Dashboard, the underlying GraphAPI endpoint will not work with your app token unless you change the "App Secret in Client" setting to NO. If you do not see this setting, make sure your "App Type" is set to Native/Desktop and then press the save button at the bottom of the page. This will not affect apps set to Web.

      The response of the API call is a JSON array containing data and a map of fields. For example: 

       
 {
     "data": {
         "app_id": 138483919580948, 
         "application": "Social Cafe", 
         "expires_at": 1352419328, 
         "is_valid": true, 
         "issued_at": 1347235328, 
         "metadata": {
             "sso": "iphone-safari"
         }, 
         "scopes": [
             "email", 
             "publish_actions"
         ], 
         "user_id": 1207059
     }
 }

      Note that the issued_at field is not returned for short-lived access tokens.

      See Debugging an Access Token
