Is is possible to get someones name (full name) only by his userID? (without access token)
https://graph.facebook.com/USERID/?fields=name
The API indicates that an access token is required.
But if you visit a Facebook profile manually you will get their name:
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=USERID
For this, no further verification is required and anyone can see it, isn’t it possible for me to get a name from that page? (for example, the full name is in the page title, can I get it from there?)
Thanks in advance

Simply you cannot access Facebook without authenticating. This is not possible.
You can get some people profiles by above URL, only when you are logged into Facebook. Did you try to access it without login to Facebook?

No, you can’t.
How about using app access token? An app access token never experied.
