How to generate access token?

At first create a business type facebook app. Create app from Facebook Deveoper Panel
Go to Facebook Graph Api Explorer
Here you will see three select option:

Meta App
User or Page
Permissions

Meta App: Here you will see all facebook app that you have created. Select your business type app from the dropdown list.
User or Page: Here you need to select page access token. Then it will redirect you to your facebook page list. Select your preferred page and give necessary permission.
Permissions: Please select the following permission from this permission list

pages_show_list
pages_read_engagement
pages_manage_engagement
pages_manage_posts
pages_read_user_content

Finally click on the Generate Access Token button and it will generate temporary access token for one hour.
If you want to make this token as long lived, you need to go Access Token Debugger. Insert the access token and click on the Debug button. Then it will show token information. Scroll down this page and you will see Extend Access Token. Click on this button and it will generate long lived access token.Then copy the access token and use this as FACEBOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN

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/v22.0/{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/v22.0/{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
