How to get public Facebook Page data no matter the country/language admin selected?

As you may know, Facebook Page Administrators can select for posts to be visible to only certain countries/langauges ( https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=180817924821 ).

However, I would like to use the Graph API to retrieve feed messages ( /feed ) for ALL countries/languages or be able to select data for a specific country.

For example:

1) I would like to get ALL posts (and comments ...) from all of Starbucks Facebook Page. So no matter what the administrator says, just ALL.

2) I would like to be able to retrieve only the posts that are visible to users in Germany.

Are both these example actually possible? Probably, because I use access_tokens Facebook will probably use my own country/langauge to decide what data I get so that would mean I would have to change country all the time which is of course not an option to ask my users.

Any of you know what to do?

This is only possible if you're using the app as an admin of the posting page.

As you mentioned, the API will detect the user behind your access_token and only display posts that would normally be accessible to them on the desktop site.

This is an intentional restriction, so there's no way around it.
