Facebook Advanced Skill

A comprehensive CLI tool for managing Facebook Pages and posts via the Graph API.

Installation

This skill is installed as an npm package. After cloning or installing:

# Set your Facebook Page Access Token
$env:FB_PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN = "your_page_access_token_here"

# Make the script executable (if needed)
# On Windows, PowerShell scripts may need execution policy adjustment
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned

Setup

Get a Page Access Token:
- Go to Facebook Developers
- Create an app or use an existing one
- Use Graph API Explorer to generate a token with pages_manage_posts, pages_read_engagement, and pages_show_list permissions
- Or use your existing Page Access Token

Option A: Using facebook-config.json (Recommended)

Edit facebook-config.json in this directory:

{
  "FB_PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "FB_PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN",
  "FB_APP_ID": "(OPTIONAL) YOUR_APP_ID_HERE",
  "FB_APP_SECRET": "(OPTIONAL) YOUR_APP_SECRET_HERE",
  "description": "Replace the placeholder values with your actual Facebook credentials. Never commit this file with real secrets to version control."
}

Option B: Using environment variable

Set the environment variable:

$env:FB_PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN = "your_token_here"

FB_PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN: Required. Your Facebook Page Access Token with appropriate permissions.

Environment Variables

FB_PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN: Required. Your Facebook Page Access Token with appropriate permissions.

Permissions Required

pages_manage_posts: Create, edit, hide, delete posts

Security Notes

Never commit your access token to version control
Use environment variables or a secure secrets manager
Tokens may expire; regenerate as needed
Use the principle of least privilege for token permissions

Troubleshooting

"Invalid Access Token"

Token may have expired
Check that the token has the required permissions
Regenerate the token from Graph API Explorer

"Permission Denied"

Ensure your token has the required permissions
Verify you're an admin/editor of the page

"Page Not Found"

Verify the page ID is correct
Ensure your token has access to that page

    # On Windows, we don't need to chmod, but we can verify the file is readable
    Write-Host "facebook-advanced CLI is ready."
} else {
    Write-Error "facebook-advanced binary not found at $binPath"
    exit 1
}
