Facebook ID and Facebook access token

[xairy]

Please add instructions for getting Facebook ID and Facebook access token.

I can find a whole bunch of different tokens on https://developers.facebook.com (user token, app token, app secret, ...), but I have no idea which one I need.

[kpolucas]

The facebook ID: I get it from http://findmyfbid.com/ is unique and never change

The token: Dont remember where i get this function (god bless whoever code it)

def get_access_token(email, password):
    s = robobrowser.RoboBrowser(user_agent=MOBILE_USER_AGENT, parser="lxml")
    s.open(FB_AUTH)
    ##submit login form##
    f = s.get_form()
    f["pass"] = password
    f["email"] = email
    s.submit_form(f)
    ##click the 'ok' button on the dialog informing you that you have already authenticated with the Tinder app##
    f = s.get_form()
    s.submit_form(f, submit=f.submit_fields['__CONFIRM__'])
    ##get access token from the html response##
    access_token = re.search(r"access_token=([\w\d]+)", s.response.content.decode()).groups()[0]

    return access_token

If you don't need to get it programmatically, you can simply spawn the Tinder auth dialog here and copy the token from the response you get when you click OK.

I believe I am using the authentication script correctly with Python 3.6 but I am still getting 401 error messages in my experiments

Edit: Resolved. I was not using positional arguments in function header/ calls. The browser script was not the issue.

[bryanmorganoverbey]

@brenly can you describe how you resolved this? I also get 401 error

[brenly]

It's been a bit. I will have to look back over my code. If you research the different ways to do arguments in function calls in python you will find my solution quicker than i can get back to you. Good luck and I'll try to get back to you!

To add on to brenly's comment, you should be creating your session object like this:

session = pynder.Session(facebook_id=FACEBOOK_ID, facebook_token=get_access_token(email, password))

where the get_access_token function is the one mentioned by kpolucas

This function is now throwing:

  File "/Volumes/gizmo/Development/Sources/tinder-bot/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 140, in resolve_redirects
    raise TooManyRedirects('Exceeded %s redirects.' % self.max_redirects, response=resp)
requests.exceptions.TooManyRedirects: Exceeded 30 redirects.

:(

@vyscond yeah I was getting this error last night too. Looks to do with facebook authentication.

[josecoves]

I was able to get the FBTOKEN manually from here https://gist.github.com/taseppa/66fc7239c66ef285ecb28b400b556938
