Facebook graph api get the user's infomation

I want to make a website which users can see their posted pictures on the page.

I have signed up for facebook API and have an app id and app secret.

https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id={#}&client_secret={#}&grant_type=client_credentials

I send users to the oauth to get the user's access token but I don't know what to do next.

https://graph.facebook.com/v3.0/me?fields=id,name,posts&access_token={#}

I thought this would work but I had the error below "An active access token must be used to query information about the current user.",

The URL you are using to get the Access Token is actually an App Token API. To generate the Access Token Please replace 

https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id={#}&client_secret={#}&grant_type=client_credentials

with 

https://www.facebook.com/v3.0/dialog/oauth?response_type=token&client_id={#id}&redirect_uri={#}&scope=publish_pages

add a redirection url here where the token is published.

OR

better option is to use the login button mentioned here.

Also you can read here about all Access Tokens
