Template description

Facebook access tokens expire quickly, requiring regular updates for continued API access. This workflow simplifies the process of exchanging short-lived tokens for long-lived ones, saving time and reducing manual effort.

What this workflow does

  • Exchanges a short-lived Facebook User Access Token for a long-lived token using the Facebook Graph API.
  • Optionally retrieves a long-lived Page Access Token associated with the user.
  • Outputs both the user and page tokens for further use in automation or integrations.

Setup
Prerequisites:

  • A valid Facebook App ID and App Secret.
  • A short-lived User Access Token from the Facebook platform.
  • (Optional) The App-Scoped User ID for fetching associated page tokens.

Workflow Configuration:

  • Replace placeholder values in the "Set Parameter" node with your Facebook credentials and token.
  • Run the workflow manually to generate long-lived tokens.

Documentation Reference:

Follow the official Facebook guide for more details: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/guides/access-tokens/get-long-lived/

Pulling data from services that n8n doesn’t have a pre-built integration for

You still can use the app in a workflow even if we don’t have a node for that or the existing operation for that. With the HTTP Request node, it is possible to call any API point and use the incoming data in your workflow Main use cases: Connect with apps and services that n8n doesn’t have integration with Web scraping How it works This workflow can be divided into three branches, each serving a distinct purpose: 1.Splitting into Items (HTTP Request - Get Mock Albums): The workflow initiates with a manual trigger (On clicking 'execute'). It performs an HTTP request to retrieve mock albums data from "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/albums." The obtained data is split into items using the Item Lists node, facilitating easier management. 2.Data Scraping (HTTP Request - Get Wikipedia Page and HTML Extract): Another branch of the workflow involves fetching a random Wikipedia page using an HTTP request to "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random." The HTML Extract node extracts the article title from the fetched Wikipedia page. 3.Handling Pagination (The final branch deals with handling pagination for a GitHub API request): It sends an HTTP request to "https://api.github.com/users/that-one-tom/starred," with parameters like the page number and items per page dynamically set by the Set node. The workflow uses conditions (If - Are we finished?) to check if there are more pages to retrieve and increments the page number accordingly (Set - Increment Page). This process repeats until all pages are fetched, allowing for comprehensive data retrieval.
