Generate page access token facebook app


I'm trying to create a Messenger bot. I need to generate a page access token to use it through my app. However, when I try to generate it, I had the following error

Warning Platform Access Disabled: Access temporarily disabled due to changes to the Facebook Platform

I have looked for it on Google and it seems that Facebook has blocked temporarily access to their platform as they are making modifications...

Is there another way to generate a token? I'm able to generate a token for the Graph API explorer. Can I use that one through my app?

Thanks.


Solution

  • On March 26 2018, Facebook temporarily paused app review, meaning you cannot create new app/page tokens with specific permissions. According to Facebook:

    We made the following changes:

    • Pause app review: We paused app review last week while we implement new changes to our platform.
    • Access to user friends requires Login Review: We are treating user_friends as an extended permission that requires Login Review.
