Note:

If you want to generate never expiry access token, you need to follow this step:

• Please open an api testing tool like Postman and send a get request by using this url https://graph.facebook.com/v19.0/{app-scoped-user-id}/accounts?access_token={long-lived-user-access-token}. If you want to generate user access token instead of page access token, just select user access token from User or Page section that i have mentioned in step 5.
• Extend expiry date of this user access token as like as page access token extend method that i have mentioned in step 8.
• Then debug this long-lived-user-access-token and you will get app-scoped-user-id from this debug information.
• Finally send get request to this url https://graph.facebook.com/v19.0/{app-scoped-user-id}/accounts?access_token={long-lived-user-access-token}. Now You will get never expiry page access token from this request and use this access token as FACEBOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN
