I want to make an events calendar using Facebook API. I have an array with page URLs I want to scan and take its events. The problem is, I am using an App Access Token and I can’t obtain events from pages with restricted age (alcohol pages etc.). Is there any way I can obtain those events?
Question posted in Facebook API
The official documentation for the Facebook APIs can be found here.

Go to the advanced settings of your applications page on developers.facebook.com. e.g. for me it would be https://developers.facebook.com/apps//settings/advanced/. And set app restrictions for ‘references alchohol’ to yes, similar for age.

There is no way to access restricted Pages with an App Token. You have to use a User Token of a User who can access the Page, or a Page Token of that Page. There is no other way, or the restriction would be pointless.
