OK this is going to sound dumb. <br />

I build little applications that consume APIs - like the Twitter API, Kred, Klout, etc. I want to log in to Facebook's API to consume data. How do I set that up so that I don't have to log in manually every time I make an API call? With other services, we use a signature, oAuth, or other kinds of authorization methods. With Facebook, well, I just don't get it.<br />

Thanks for your help.
