I dont know if this post is too old, but i just found it while I was searching for a solution to my problem.

Anyway, I'll just show how I managed to get feeds from a public user:

        var fbul = "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?type=client_cred&client_id=[AppID]&client_secret=[AppSecret]";
        var fburl = "https://graph.facebook.com/201317759900688?fields=feed&";

        $.get(fbul, function(auth_token){
            $.ajax({
                dataType: "jsonp",
                url: fburl+auth_token,
                success: function(res){
                    console.log(res);

                }
            });
        });

And here a litte explanation: you have to go to the facebook dev console (https://developers.facebook.com) and register a new web App. Just go on "My Apps" in the top Nav and go on "Add a new App". Once thats done you can access your App ID and your APP Secret.

The first link "var fbul" is to get your access_token which you need to access the feeds.

var fbul = "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?type=client_cred&client_id=[AppID]&client_secret=[AppSecret]";

Just change [AppID] and [AppSecret] to your own keys.

The second link is to access the feed(we dont add the acces_token here because we do that in our ajax request)

var fburl = "https://graph.facebook.com/201317759900688?fields=feed&";

The number here(2013177599....) is the channel ID from a public site. To get that number just go on http://findmyfacebookid.com/ and enter the facebook URL to the public user.

Thats pretty much everything you need.

Now write your ajax request as followed:

$.get(fbul, function(auth_token){
            $.ajax({
                dataType: "jsonp",
                url: fburl+auth_token,
                success: function(res){
                    console.log(res);

                }
            });
        });

You'll see now the results in your console.

Use the success function to handle the results the way you want.
