How to create Facebook application to get app id for your website

In this article, I’ll show you how to set up a Facebook application for your website domain so you can integrate Facebook features on your website, such as the Share Button, which require that your domain have an App ID. Facebook defines “App ID” or “appId” as “a unique identifier for your site that ensures that we have the right level of security in place between the user and your website.”

When integrating the Facebook Social Plugins (Like Button, Send Button, Comments, etc.) into your website pages you don’t need an App ID, but for other features an App ID required, such as the Share Button.
