Non-Expiring Facebook Page tokens

• Visit Facebook Graph Explorer

• Select your application as the application

• Click on Get Token > Get User Access Token (make sure manage pages and read insights permission is checked)

• Grab the token, along with your App's client id and client secret and visit: https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=CLIENT_ID&client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET&grant_type=fb_exchange_token&fb_exchange_token=THE_TOKEN

• Grab that long lived token and go to: https://graph.facebook.com/me/accounts?access_token=THE_LONG_LIVED_TOKEN

• Get the page's never expiring token

• Go to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/accesstoken to make sure the token works

Please note: if any page admin changes her password, these page tokens are invalidated. If you know any better approach, please let me know :)
