I am trying to get my ( OWN ) ad accounts data using facebook insights api. the very first step is getting access token. until now i was using access token generated by graph api explorer by extending it lifetime manually. now what is the programmatic way of getting access token. i have referred this documntation https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/manually-build-a-login-flow/
This is only possible when i am using some sort of front-end or browser interface to open up login dialog but i am using a python script. its not possible to open up the login dialog. ho do i get my access token .
as far as i understand login dialog popu up when using user access token. i think i need to use app access token . are both same?
Follow the step here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens/#apptokens You can get the access token through the sample code
But reminded that because this request uses your app secret, it must never be made in client-side code or in an app binary that could be decompiled.
