Facebook Access Token for Pages

People also ask

How do I find my page token?

To get a Page access token, send a GET request to the /PAGE-ID endpoint using your User access token. Replace PAGE-ID and USER-ACCESS-TOKEN with your information. If you used a short-lived User access token, the Page access token is valid for 1 hour.

How do I get a short live access token on Facebook?

Go to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/ and select your app from the first drop down menu, in the left. Click on the button "Get access token", and in the "Select Permissions" window, click in "Extended Permissions" and check manage_pages and publish_stream, and click in "Get Access Token" blue button.


  1. Go to the Graph API Explorer
  2. Choose your app from the dropdown menu
  3. Click "Get Access Token"
  4. Choose the manage_pages permission (you may need the user_events permission too, not sure)
  5. Now access the me/accounts connection and copy your page's access_token
  6. Click on your page's id
  7. Add the page's access_token to the GET fields
  8. Call the connection you want (e.g.: PAGE_ID/events)

See here if you want to grant a Facebook App permanent access to a page (even when you / the app owner are logged out):

http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/using-app-tokens/

"An App Access Token does not expire unless you refresh the application secret through your app settings."


The documentation for this is good if not a little difficult to find.

Facebook Graph API - Page Tokens

After initializing node's fbgraph, you can run:

var facebookAccountID = yourAccountIdHere 

graph
.setOptions(options)
.get(facebookAccountId + "/accounts", function(err, res) {
  console.log(res); 
});

and receive a JSON response with the token you want to grab, located at:

res.data[0].access_token
