The access token provided by Whatsapp cloud API expires in 24 hours. Is there a way to get a permanent access token?
There is an official link for getting a permanent token on the whatsapp website : Learn how to create a permanent token but it is another rabbit hole which does not state how to get permanent access token.
If someone has done this successfully, please help me and other frustrated developers :)
Yes, I already did that you can check my medium article where I explain how to make a never expiry access token. Here is the link https://link.medium.com/UxF3glkU1qb
You can get user access token from Facebook oauth using this link: https://www.facebook.com/v8.0/dialog/oauth?client_id=<app_id>&response_type=code%20token&redirect_uri=<redirect_url>&scope=whatsapp_business_management
client_id: App ID of your app on developer.facebook.com redirect_url: your url where access token will be appended (note: you have to add to "valid oauth redirect urls" of your app "Facebook Login => Settings") scope: whatsapp_business_management
Once the process is completed the access tokens will be appended to your redirect url.
