I'm doing a sigle page. for which I am using facebook api graph to get the last 3 posts I made on my facebook page, I managed to get the .json with the post but it turns out that I have to generate a token every so often to keep access to the information of the api, I have read the documentation and I see that you can only generate 2-hour tokens that are commonly used for sessions through facebook and there is also the possibility of generating a token that lasts approximately 2 months, ... my question is if there is any way to generate a token that does not expire or in which way it could renew the token automatically so as not to be doing it manually -...

I send a greeting

I think facebook does not support permanent tokens, only long-lasting as you say, the full explanation is here .

I got something interesting that might be useful for you

Having discovered that it is possible to generate an access token to Facebook pages that does not expire, here is a clear, step-by-step step for all those looking for the same:

Make sure you are the administrator of the FB page from which you want to get information

Create an FB application (it must be with the same user account as the admin page)

Go to the FB Graph API Explorer

In the top right, select the FB application that you created in the "Application" drop-down list

Click on "Get access token"

Be sure to add the manage_pages permission

Convert this short-term access token to a long-term access token with the call to GraphAPI

https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=<your FB App ID >&client_secret=<your FB App secret>&grant_type=fb_exchange_token&fb_exchange_token=<your short-lived access token>

Get the new long-term access token returned

Make a GraphAPI call to view your accounts with the new long-term access token https://graph.facebook.com/me/accounts?access_token=<tu token de acceso de larga duración>

Grab the access_token from the page that you will be pulling information

Lint the token to see that it is set to expire: never!

You should do that. With that you should have a token to Facebook pages that does not expire!

Or if you use the PHP SDK you can try with

// Set Extended Access Token
$facebook->setExtendedAccessToken();

// Get access short live access token
$accessToken = $facebook->getAccessToken();

// Exchange token
$facebook->api('/oauth/access_token', 'POST',
    array(  
        'grant_type' => 'fb_exchange_token',           
        'client_id' => 'APP ID',
        'client_secret' => 'APP Secret',
        'fb_exchange_token' => $accessToken
    )
);
