Long-Lived User Tokens #300

Open bbelderbos opened 8 years ago

bbelderbos commented 8 years ago

Hello,

There is a way to extend a token, but I don't see this in the API:

"Generating Long-Lived User Tokens from Server-Side Long-Lived Tokens"

( https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens/expiration-and-extension )

Will this be added at some point?

I need this for a command line script I am developing.

Thanks, Bob

Like many open source projects, new features are generally added when someone contributes code implementing them.

This is already implemented, actually: https://github.com/mobolic/facebook-sdk/blob/master/facebook/__init__.py#L317

I believe @bbelderbos meant https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens/expiration-and-extension#long-via-code, which is not implemented by extend_access_token.

It requires user interaction for generating user token with valid code return from Graph API which is then used to get long app access token (long lived token) used for getting the data from Graph API. Simply, Add some test users to FB app. Design simple UI to call the graph api for long token generation verify it using access token debug, which is portable token. Finally, use it in different scripts.
