Facebook Graph API: retrieve basic profile information without access_token?

Just that, I'm reading the documentation and it's seems like you can get access to the basic information without auth. But i'm getting an error

the code

$fb = new Facebook([
    'app_id' => '...',
    'app_secret' => '...',
    'default_graph_version' => 'v2.2'
]);

$response = $fb->get('/1000785'); // a valid ramdom user_id

and the response

Type: Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookSDKException
Message: You must provide an access token.
File: ...src/Facebook/FacebookRequest.php

So, should I need to implement the "classic" login anyway?

Ok, just to clarify this issue. It's enough just generating an app access token.

How to generate Facebook App Access Token?

Simply, concatenating app_id and app_secret with a pipe symbol.

$appAccessToken = $config['app_id'] . '|' . $config['app_secret'];
$response = $fb->get('/0123456789', $appAccessToken);

Cheers!
