As a new business entrepreneur, I setup a page for my website on Facebook. As a part of keeping my customers up to date I had to fetch my FB page feed onto my website, just posts, no comments, photos etc.
A brief Google of 'How to' led me to the RSS feed URL which was
https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?id[YOURID]=&format=json
But as you all know and why you are probably here, On Jan 28, 2015 the link above stopped working for all the pages. User took to the forum and Google revealed that FB encountered a bug.
Apparently FB is restoring the RSS feed as per this page
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/1539780319626180/
But they said that this RSS Feed will be expiring soon.
In the mean time I wanted to find out a better way to get the feed on my page and could not afford a bald spot on my page
So here is my solution summary
Select your App. This will enable a button highlighted below
Clicking Get App Token button will display a token in Access Token box
Copy it and use it in following URL
https://graph.facebook.com/[YOUR-PAGE-ID]/feed?access_token=[YOUR-APP-TOKEN]&fields=id,message,type
For more details on fields and how to use the returned JSON in PHP, visit this link

Hope this saves your valuable time!
