How to get App ID for an existing facebook page?


I have the following case:

My client already has a facebook page with timeline and a decent amount of likes. My job is to integrate facebook comments and facebook like to their website. For this I need an App ID, which I can easily get by creating a new app on developers.facebook.com

What I want is to somehow connect this app to the client's page so;

I have already spent many hours trying to get this to work, but I don't yet see a way. I can imagine that when I create a new App and then add a page to that app I have them connected. Though my client's company isn't an "app", it's a real-world business. Also, this way my clients loses all their likes on their current page.

Please help me figuring out the right way to do this.

Thanks in advance.


Solution

  • There's no way to link an existing app and page (by 'link' i mean mark the page as being the page which represents that app) - you can of course install an app on to your page as a tab, or use an app to manage the page and post updates, etc, the documentation for both of which is on the main developer site
