facebook session from script/console

I need to access a user’s information from facebook from within a cron job (basically a rake task with environment access – and so similar to accessing from script/console). What I need is just the user’s name to address a newsletter properly – I would have stored that but facebook terms seem to state that i can only store the id and the proxy email. So I have the facebook id and need access to the name.

The book does suggest keeping the session in the model but that works for just an hour :(. Any ideas?

This seems to work…
Facebooker::User.new(, Facebooker::Session.create).name

You can get basic information without a session, but to get more detailed information you will need the user to grant you the offline_access extended permission.

HI Mike

I was request for extended permission “publish stream” and user on my page was allow that but why user on my page can’t publish to profile ?
What i should do for it ??

I think extended permission just request one time and user allow that permission then user can publish to profile facebook .

Regards
