Facebook Topic Search API not working

I need to build an application which needs to search in public Facebook posts.

As I search for solution I found the Topic Search API: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/topic_search/v2.4

I tried this API using a Facebook Application but getting this error:

{
  "error": {
    "message": "(#3) Application does not have the capability to make this API call.",
    "type": "OAuthException",
    "code": 3
  }
}

How can I gain access to use the search API?

As far as I know this is not a public API (which should be documented by FB), so this means that you cannot use this with your own apps. I guess specific app_ids from partners are actively whitelisted.
