App ID

When you create a Facebook app we generate and assign it a unique ID. This ID must be included when making any calls to our APIs. All of our SDKs provide a way for you to easily set this value in your codebase so that will automatically be included with any API calls.

App Secret

Your app secret is used in some of the Facebook Login flows to generate an App access token which can make API requests on behalf of any user of the app. It is extremely important that an App Secret be stored securely and not be included in any code that could be accessed by anyone other than a developer of the app.

We recommend that App access tokens only be used directly from your app's servers in order to provide the best security. For native apps, we suggest that the app communicates with your own server and the server then makes the API requests to Facebook using the App access token.

If your app secret is compromised, you can reset it in the App Dashboard. Learn more about the app secret and appsecret_proof for securing server-side calls.
