The error message is mentioned in below link, your access token is getting expired which needs to be activated. Don't have hands on experience in this but I am sure below page would resolve your problem.

Hi, Kiru,

Have you tired in the facebook Graph API Explorer as below to have a quick look to see whether your "user access token" is correct?

https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/

And do you already have a long-term user access token? from facebook API v2.6, only 60 days user access token is available, and you can follow the steps below to get it:

Hello Zhihong,

I appreciate your time. Actually I just created an application yesterday and tried to access it but I got the same error. Then today I have added a new application and try to connect but still I am getting the same error.

But do we need to submit our Facebook application after we develop to get reviewed by Facebook team? I have not done that for my application .

Thanks,

Kiru

Hi, Kiru,

No, you do not need to do that if your application is still in development.

How do you try to access it? It seems you still not have a "user access token", right?

You must first get the token, then you can do the rest. And a quick way to get the token is to generate a temporary one in the "Graph API Explorer", you can follow the page below to get it.

Hello Zhihong,

Actually I got both User Access Token and Application Access Token through "Graph API Explorer" , while creating the app in facebook and I tried both though, the QlikRest Parameters.

Let me see the link you provided as well

Thanks so much!
