Get Facebook app by access token

I have a Facebook access token stored in my database which I use to retrieve data from Facebook. This access token have been registered by one of my apps, but I have no idea which one.

Is there a way to find out which of my apps owns this token?

I have tried https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=xxx without success.

{ "error": { "message": "An active access token must be used to query information about the current user.", "type": "OAuthException", "code": 2500 } }

( I am sure this token is still "active" if by active I mean "still able to retrieve data from the Facebook REST API" )

Solution

  • Based on @WizKid 's comment:

    There is a tool on Facebook, that is designed to help identifying the owner of an access token ( and much more, like expiration date or available scopes )

    It is accessible under developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/accesstoken
