I need to generate a Page Access Token for a webpage that I have, this token will be used by the webpage to post to its Facebook Page feed.
This is what I do :
Get Access Token
manage_pages
/user_events
)To get the Page Access Token
I have to run me/accounts
in the Graph API Explorer. This will show all the pages I got with a new Page Access Token (short lived(about 60 min)) to each one.
This Page Access Token
will work just fine to use in my C# code to post to the feed.
Problem
When another user uses my webpage to post a post I need to generate a new Page Access Token
(in code) and then use it to post the userpost to the site´s facebook feed. The problem is that I could clearly not be there to grant the post so how do I handle this?
I could obviously not run the me/accounts
(in code) command to get the Page Access Token
from here.
I have looked at extended Access Token but this will last 60 days and then it will be the same problem as above.
What you need is an Extended Page Token:
manage_pages
and publish_actions
/me/accounts
with the Extended User Token to get Extended Page TokensExtended Page Tokens are valid forever, so you don´t need to generate a new one all the time.
