clarification on where to get app developer keys

See original GitHub issue

I have made an app project on Facebook and am only seemingly able to find an App Secret and an App ID.

I still do not know where to find the following

access_token
verify_token

I know this is not a product feature of Bootbot but rather of Facebook… but I was not able to find this information in their documentation.

It would be really helpful to include pointers/directions in the Getting Started section!

Thanks for the help and the cool project man 👍

Hi @awitherow

This is some help : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/guides/quick-start

The verify_token is created by yourself (a string with at least around 50 characters) and asked on facebook in the step 2, when you setup the webhook

For the access_token, facebook give it to you in the step 3, when you generate the token for the page who will receive the bot.

Hope it can help you 😃
