How can I get the APP SECRET of an application that I created programatically?

I created a FB App programatically using this:

https://www.facebook.com/connect/create_app.php?api_key=APP_ID&name=AP_NAME

now I need to get the APP ACCESS TOKEN that can be retrieved using the following code:

$APPLICATION_ID = "APP_ID";
$APPLICATION_SECRET = "APP_SECRET";

$token_url =    "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?" .
                "client_id=" . $APPLICATION_ID .
                "&client_secret=" . $APPLICATION_SECRET .
                "&grant_type=client_credentials";
$app_token = file_get_contents($token_url);

for that, I obviously need to have first the APP_SECRET...

So is there any workaround to get the APP_SECRET of the newly created app?

Your AppSecret is used for "security purposes" and should not be retrieved that way.

The Appsecret is used to encrypt and decrypt your requests as defined on oauth handshake mechanisms.

It's not supposed to have "realtime mechanisms via api" to getit: do you realize the security issues that it could generate?

Try to look for the secret_key by other perspective, that's the kind of information that no one whats to have on the wire...

hope helps your Vision/Needs
