do we always need to have user access token?

[sasori]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to develop a web app to get the number of facebook likes, and number of facebook comments on a particular facebook page post content by just inputting the facebook page id via url or to whatever input form that i'm gonna create.

 

My question now is,

 

1) do we always need to have user access token ? or page access token is enough already and we can save it in some php config file?

because while I was playing with the graph explorer, and I logged out the fb page from another browser, the graph explorer insisted 

that I need a user access token,

 

any inputs is much appreciated, as this is my first time to mingle with facebook apis
