Automate Long-Lived Facebook Access Token Generation
detail.loadingPreview
This n8n workflow streamlines the complex process of acquiring long-lived Facebook User and Page Access Tokens. It ensures your applications maintain continuous, secure access to Facebook APIs without frequent manual re-authentication, saving you time and preventing service interruptions.
About This Workflow
Facebook API interactions often require access tokens that expire after a short period, leading to constant re-authentication challenges. This n8n workflow provides an automated solution to convert short-lived user tokens into long-lived ones and subsequently retrieve long-lived page access tokens. By leveraging the Facebook Graph API, it handles the token exchange securely and efficiently, making it ideal for developers, marketers, and businesses that rely on uninterrupted access to Facebook data for analytics, publishing, or advertising. Say goodbye to manual token refresh cycles and ensure your integrations run smoothly for extended periods.
Key Features
- Automated Token Exchange: Converts short-lived Facebook User Access Tokens into long-lived ones programmatically.
- Page Token Retrieval: Securely fetches long-lived Page Access Tokens associated with the user.
- Direct API Integration: Utilizes Facebook's Graph API
oauth/access_tokenendpoint for robust authentication. - Configurable Parameters: Easily set

How To Use
- Start the Workflow: Click on "Test workflow" to manually trigger the execution.
- Configure Parameters: Locate the "Set Parameter" node.
- Enter
client_id: Replace "xxxx" with your Facebook App's Client ID. - Enter
client_secret: Replace "yyyy" with your Facebook App's Client Secret. - Enter
user_access_token: Replace "zzzzz" with your short-lived Facebook User Access Token (which you want to exchange for a long-lived one). - Enter
app_scoped_user_id(Optional): If you need to retrieve page tokens for a specific user, replace "uuuuuu" with the app-scoped user ID. - Execute and Monitor: Run the workflow. The "Get Long Lived FB User Token" node will output the long-lived user token, and if configured, "Get Long Lived FB Page Token" will output the page access tokens.
