How can we get static access-token from facebook ?

Ayappan Alagesan

I want to share a video in facebook through c#.the following code is working fine.But the access token which i used here is dynamic.so i need a static access token.

string UserAccessToken = "EAACEdEose0cBAPmGpJXPITMiL*************************Iogiku8kH9QgzC3pMbmmAca4ORDyVSPvc0sZAItmcKpInK3MjSJ8coNthVXjKGSq71JckcQkBDpm7IVwAtJzgz8t4g0abc6XSLgLZAhPbyx106YUcdfa0pd6TYxhQyJatZA5na7krMZD";

string message = "having fun";

string title = "hi";

string filePath = @"F:\Songs\funnybabyclip1.mp4";

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(UserAccessToken))

{

string FileUploadUrl = string.Format("https://graph-video.facebook.com/me/videos?title={0}&description={1}&access_token={2}", HttpUtility.UrlEncode(message), HttpUtility.UrlEncode(title), UserAccessToken);

WebClient uploadClient = new WebClient();

byte[] returnBytes = uploadClient.UploadFile(FileUploadUrl, filePath);

}

In every request facebook change it access token.
For Example
If you created Request1 to facebook then after verification facebook sends you the access token and this access token contains its expiry time also.You will use this token untill token expired or Session will re-initialzed(Logout and re-login the facebook).

private void fetchUserInfo() {
final AccessToken accessToken = AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken();
if (accessToken != null) {
GraphRequest request = GraphRequest.newMeRequest(
accessToken, new GraphRequest.GraphJSONObjectCallback() {
@Override
public void onCompleted(JSONObject me, GraphResponse response) {
user = me;
updateUI();
}
});
Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
parameters.putString(FIELDS, REQUEST_FIELDS);
request.setParameters(parameters);
GraphRequest.executeBatchAsync(request);
} else {
user = null;
}
}

The access token that was returned by the LoginManager will be saved in shared preferences,
so the next time the app is opened, AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken()
should have the same access token, this is the same as how it with the Session class.
You can check out the samples provided with the SDK to see them work.
Make sure you're not reinstalling the app between sessions, or setting the current
access token to null explicitly.
