问题
I work on a project that has facebook pages as one of its data sources. It imports some data from it periodically with no GUI involved. Then we use a web app to show the data we already have.
Not all the information is public. This means I have to get access to the data once and then keep it. However, I don\'t know the process and I haven\'t found a good tutorial on that yet. I guess I need an access_token, how can I get it from the user, step by step? The user is an admin of a facebook page, will he have to add some FB app of ours to the page?
EDIT: Thanks @phwd for the tip. I made a tutorial how to get a permanent page access token, even with offline_access no longer existing.
EDIT: I just found out it\'s answered here: Long-lasting FB access-token for server to pull FB page info
回答1:
Following the instructions laid out in Facebook's extending page tokens documentation I was able to get a page access token that does not expire.
I suggest using the Graph API Explorer for all of these steps except where otherwise stated.
0. Create Facebook App
If you already have an app, skip to step 1.
- Go to My Apps.
- Click "+ Add a New App".
- Setup a website app.
You don't need to change its permissions or anything. You just need an app that wont go away before you're done with your access token.
1. Get User Short-Lived Access Token
- Go to the Graph API Explorer.
- Select the application you want to get the access token for (in the "Application" drop-down menu, not the "My Apps" menu).
- Click "Get Token" > "Get User Access Token".
- In the pop-up, under the "Extended Permissions" tab, check "manage_pages".
- Click "Get Access Token".
- Grant access from a Facebook account that has access to manage the target page. Note that if this user loses access the final, never-expiring access token will likely stop working.
The token that appears in the "Access Token" field is your short-lived access token.
2. Generate Long-Lived Access Token
Following these instructions from the Facebook docs, make a GET request to
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.10/oauth/access_token?grant_type=fb_exchange_token&client_id={app_id}&client_secret={app_secret}&fb_exchange_token={short_lived_token}
entering in your app's ID and secret and the short-lived token generated in the previous step.
You cannot use the Graph API Explorer. For some reason it gets stuck on this request. I think it's because the response isn't JSON, but a query string. Since it's a GET request, you can just go to the URL in your browser.
The response should look like this:
{"access_token":"ABC123","token_type":"bearer","expires_in":5183791}
"ABC123" will be your long-lived access token. You can put it into the Access Token Debugger to verify. Under "Expires" it should have something like "2 months".
3. Get User ID
Using the long-lived access token, make a GET request to
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.10/me?access_token={long_lived_access_token}
The id field is your account ID. You'll need it for the next step.
4. Get Permanent Page Access Token
Make a GET request to
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.10/{account_id}/accounts?access_token={long_lived_access_token}
The JSON response should have a data field under which is an array of items the user has access to. Find the item for the page you want the permanent access token from. The access_token field should have your permanent access token. Copy it and test it in the Access Token Debugger. Under "Expires" it should say "Never".

Here's my solution using only Graph API Explorer & Access Token Debugger:
- Graph API Explorer:
- Select your App from the top right dropdown menu
- Select "Get User Access Token" from dropdown (right of access token field) and select needed permissions
- Copy user access token
- Access Token Debugger:
- Paste copied token and press "Debug"
- Press "Extend Access Token" and copy the generated long-lived user access token
- Graph API Explorer:
- Paste copied token into the "Access Token" field
- Make a GET request with "PAGE_ID?fields=access_token"
- Find the permanent page access token in the response (node "access_token")
- (Optional) Access Token Debugger:
- Paste the permanent token and press "Debug"
- "Expires" should be "Never"
(Tested with API Version 2.9-2.11, 3.0-3.1)
回答3:
In addition to the recommended steps in the Vlasec answer, you can use:
- Graph API explorer to make the queries, e.g.
/{pageId}?fields=access_token&access_token=THE_ACCESS_TOKEN_PROVIDED_BY_GRAPH_EXPLORER - Access Token Debugger to get information about the access token.

Another PHP answer to make lives easier. Updated for Facebook Graph API 2.9 . Just fill 'er up and load.
<?php
$args=[
/*-- Permanent access token generator for Facebook Graph API version 2.9 --*/
//Instructions: Fill Input Area below and then run this php file
/*-- INPUT AREA START --*/
'usertoken'=>'',
'appid'=>'',
'appsecret'=>'',
'pageid'=>''
/*-- INPUT AREA END --*/
];
echo 'Permanent access token is: <input type="text" value="'.generate_token($args).'"></input>';
function generate_token($args){
$r=json_decode(file_get_contents("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.9/oauth/access_token?grant_type=fb_exchange_token&client_id={$args['appid']}&client_secret={$args['appsecret']}&fb_exchange_token={$args['usertoken']}")); // get long-lived token
$longtoken=$r->access_token;
$r=json_decode(file_get_contents("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.9/me?access_token={$longtoken}")); // get user id
$userid=$r->id;
$r=json_decode(file_get_contents("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.9/{$userid}?fields=access_token&access_token={$longtoken}")); // get permanent token
if($r->id==$args['pageid']) $finaltoken=$r->access_token;
return $finaltoken;
}
?>
Addendum: (alternative)
Graph 2.9 onwards , you can skip much of the hassle of getting a long access token by simply clicking Extend Access Token at the bottom of the Access Token Debugger tool, after having debugged a short access token. Armed with information about pageid and longlivedtoken, run the php below to get permanent access token.
<?php
$args=[
/*-- Permanent access token generator for Facebook Graph API version 2.9 --*/
//Instructions: Fill Input Area below and then run this php file
/*-- INPUT AREA START --*/
'longlivedtoken'=>'',
'pageid'=>''
/*-- INPUT AREA END --*/
];
echo 'Permanent access token is: <input type="text" value="'.generate_token($args).'"></input>';
function generate_token($args){
$r=json_decode(file_get_contents("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.9/{$args['pageid']}?fields=access_token&access_token={$args['longlivedtoken']}"));
return $r->access_token;
}
?>
Although the second code saves you a lot of hassle, I recommend running the first php code unless you are in a lot of hurry because it cross-checks pageid and userid. The second code will not end up working if you choose user token by mistake.
Thanks to dw1 and Rob

I made a PHP script to make it easier. Create an app. In the Graph API Explorer select your App and get a user token with manage_pages and publish_pages permission. Find your page's ID at the bottom of its About page. Fill in the config vars and run the script.
<?php
$args=[
'usertoken'=>'',
'appid'=>'',
'appsecret'=>'',
'pageid'=>''
];
echo generate_token($args);
function generate_token($args){
$r=json_decode(file_get_contents("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.8/oauth/access_token?grant_type=fb_exchange_token&client_id={$args['appid']}&client_secret={$args['appsecret']}&fb_exchange_token={$args['usertoken']}")); // get long-lived token
$longtoken=$r->access_token;
$r=json_decode(file_get_contents("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.8/me?access_token={$longtoken}")); // get user id
$userid=$r->id;
$r=json_decode(file_get_contents("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.8/{$userid}/accounts?access_token={$longtoken}")); // get permanent token
foreach($r->data as $d) if($d->id==$args['pageid']) return $d->access_token;
}

I tried these steps: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/access#graph-api-explorer
Get Permanent Page Access Token
- Go to Graph API Explorer
- Select your app in Application
- Paste the long-lived access token into Access Token
- Next to Access Token, choose the page you want an access token for. The access token appears as a new string.
- Click i to see the properties of this access token
- Click “Open in Access Token Tool” button again to open the “Access Token Debugger” tool to check the properties
One Tip, it only worked for me when the page language is english.
回答7:
If you are requesting only page data, then you can use a page access token. You will only have to authorize the user once to get the user access token; extend it to two months validity then request the token for the page. This is all explained in Scenario 5. Note, that the acquired page access token is only valid for as long as the user access token is valid.
回答8:
While getting the permanent access token I followed above 5 steps as Donut mentioned. However in the 5th step while generating permanent access token its returning the long lived access token(Which is valid for 2 months) not permanent access token(which never expires). what I noticed is the current version of Graph API is V2.5. If you trying to get the permanent access token with V2.5 its giving long lived access token.Try to make API call with V2.2(if you are not able to change version in the graph api explorer,hit the API call https://graph.facebook.com/v2.2/{account_id}/accounts?access_token={long_lived_access_token} in the new tab with V2.2) then you will get the permanent access token(Which never expires)
回答9:
In addition to mentioned methods it is worth mentioning that for server-to-server applications, you can also use this form of permanent access token: app_id|app_secret This type of access token is called App Token. It can generally be used to call Graph API and query for public nodes within your application back-end. It is mentioned here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens

Application request limit reached (#4) - FB API v2.1 and greater
This answer led me to the "ultimate answer for us" and so it is very much related so I am appending it here. While it's related to the above it is different and it seems FB has simplified the process some.
Our sharing counts on our site stopped worked when FB rolled over the api to v 2.1. In our case we already had a FB APP and we were NOT using the FB login. So what we needed to do was get a FB APP Token to make the new requests. This is as of Aug. 23 2016.
- Go to: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
Select the api version and then use GET and paste the following:
/oauth/access_token?client_id={app-id}&client_secret={app-secret}&grant_type=client_credentialsYou will want to go grab your app id and your app secret from your app page. Main FB Apps developer page
Run the graph query and you will see:
{ "access_token": "app-id|app-token", "token_type": "bearer" }Where
"app-id"
and"app-token"
will be your app id from your FB app page and the generated FB App HASH you just received.Next go test your new APP access token: FB Access Token tester
You should see, by pasting the
"app-token"
into the token tester, a single app based token without an expiration date/time.
In our case we are using the FB js sdk so we changed our call to be like so (please note this ONLY gets the share count and not the share and comment count combined like it used to be):
FB.api(
'/','GET',{
// this is our FB app token for our FB app
access_token: FBAppToken,
"id":"{$shareUrl}","fields":"id,og_object{ engagement }"
}
This is now working properly. This took a lot of searching and an official bug report with FB to confirm that we have to start making tokenized requests to the FB api. As an aside I did request that they (FB) add a clue to the Error code (#4) that mentions the tokenized request.
I just got another report from one of our devs that our FB comment count is broken as well due to the new need for tokenized requests so I will update this accordingly.

Many of these examples do not work, not sure if it's because of 2.9v coming out but I was banging my head. Anyways I took @dw1 version and modified it a little with the help of @KFunk video and got this working for me for 2.9. Hope this helps.
$args=[
/*-- Permanent access token generator for Facebook Graph API version 2.9 --*/
//Instructions: Fill Input Area below and then run this php file
/*-- INPUT AREA START --*/
'usertoken'=>'',
'appid'=>'',
'appsecret'=>'',
'pageid'=>''
/*-- INPUT AREA END --*/
];
echo 'Permanent access token is: <input type="text" value="'.generate_token($args).'"></input>';
function generate_token($args){
$r = json_decode(file_get_contents("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.9/oauth/access_token?grant_type=fb_exchange_token&client_id={$args['appid']}&client_secret={$args['appsecret']}&fb_exchange_token={$args['usertoken']}")); // get long-lived token
$longtoken=$r->access_token;
$r=json_decode(file_get_contents("https://graph.facebook.com/{$args['pageid']}?fields=access_token&access_token={$longtoken}")); // get user id
$finaltoken=$r->access_token;
return $finaltoken;
}

Thanks to @donut I managed to get the never expiring access token in JavaScript.
// Initialize exchange
fetch('https://graph.facebook.com/v3.2/oauth/access_token?grant_type=fb_exchange_token&client_id={client_id}&client_secret={client_secret}&fb_exchange_token={short_lived_token}')
.then((data) => {
return data.json();
})
.then((json) => {
// Get the user data
fetch(`https://graph.facebook.com/v3.2/me?access_token=${json.access_token}`)
.then((data) => {
return data.json();
})
.then((userData) => {
// Get the page token
fetch(`https://graph.facebook.com/v3.2/${userData.id}/accounts?access_token=${json.access_token}`)
.then((data) => {
return data.json();
})
.then((pageToken) => {
// Save the access token somewhere
// You'll need it at later point
})
.catch((err) => console.error(err))
})
.catch((err) => console.error(err))
})
.catch((err) => {
console.error(err);
})
and then I used the saved access token like this
fetch('https://graph.facebook.com/v3.2/{page_id}?fields=fan_count&access_token={token_from_the_data_array}')
.then((data) => {
return data.json();
})
.then((json) => {
// Do stuff
})
.catch((err) => console.error(err))
I hope that someone can trim this code because it's kinda messy but it was the only way I could think of.
回答13:
If you have facebook's app, then you can try with app-id & app-secret.
Like :
access_token={your-app_id}|{your-app_secret}
it will don't require to change the token frequently.
回答14:
I found this answer which refers to this tool which really helped a lot.
I hope this answer is still valid when you read this.
