Set permissions using Temboo for Facebook API

Question

I am currently developing an app where I have been using temboo to search a user on Facebook. I am able to get the basic results which do not need any additional permissions.

But for fields like education history, about_me etc, I need to include additional permissions to retrieve these fields.

Could you please let me know how to add these permissions to the temboo FQLinputsets?

Thanks!

I work at Temboo.

I would recommend using our OAuth Helper Choreos to go through the OAuth process, and request an additional set of permissions:

https://www.temboo.com/library/Library/Facebook/OAuth/

In the first step of the OAuth process, you'll run the InitializeOAuth choreo. This is where you can specify the permissions you need to request by passing a comma-separated list of permissions to the "Scope" input. You'll want to pass user_education_history,about_me along with any other permissions you'd like to request. Here's an example of the input set:

// Set inputs initializeOAuthInputs.set_AppID("YOUR_FACEBOOK_APP_ID"); initializeOAuthInputs.set_Scope("user_education_history,about_me");

Then you can complete the OAuth process by running the FinalizeOAuth choreo. This will return an access token that should have the permission you need to retrieve those fields.

There is a video tutorial about the OAuth Choreos here:

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any other questions.
