What this key lets us do. It lets us publish a post to that one Page. It cannot read your messages, your friends, or anything on your personal profile.

Step by step

  1. You need a Facebook Page, not a personal profile. Personal profiles cannot be posted to by any tool — that is Facebook's rule, not ours.
  2. Go to developers.facebook.com, press My Apps, then Create App. Pick the Business type.
  3. In the app, open Tools → Graph API Explorer.
  4. At the top right choose your app, then in User or Page choose Get Page Access Token and pick your Page.
  5. In the permissions box add pages_manage_posts and pages_read_engagement, then press Generate Access Token and approve.
  6. Use the Access Token Debugger link next to the token and press Extend Access Token — the short one expires in about an hour, the extended one lasts around 60 days.
  7. Copy the extended token. Your Page ID is on your Page under About → Page transparency.

Bold words are the exact buttons and menu names to look for. These are screens of other companies and they move them — if the layout does not match, searching that bold name in their own help usually finds where it went.

What to paste here

FieldWhat it looks like
Page IDA long number, e.g. 102938475610293
Access tokenA very long string starting EAA…

What usually goes wrong

Whatever you paste is encrypted the moment it arrives. It is never shown back to you and nobody here can read it — support sees a fingerprint like “ending 7f3a2c”, never the value.

Stuck? The help desk answers this exact question, and it is a real answer rather than a form. Open the help desk → If you would rather go to the source, read the official documentation: Facebook: Pages API
