title: facebook: permanent Page Access Token?
body: <p>I work on a project that has facebook pages as one of its data sources. It imports some data from it periodically with no GUI involved. Then we use a web app to show the data we already have.</p>
  
  <p>Not all the information is public. This means I have to get access to the data once and then keep it. However, I don't know the process and I haven't found a good tutorial on that yet. I guess I need an <code>access_token</code>, how can I get it from the user, step by step? The user is an admin of a facebook page, will he have to add some FB app of ours to the page?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Thanks @phwd for the tip. I made a tutorial how to get a permanent page access token, even with <code>offline_access</code> no longer existing.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I just found out it's answered here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12168452/long-lasting-fb-access-token-for-server-to-pull-fb-page-info">Long-lasting FB access-token for server to pull FB page info</a></p>
