However, please keep in mind that:

  • These tokens cannot be revoked, so long expiration times are not recommended.
  • This method for obtaining Access Tokens is only for test purposes. Do not manually obtain long-lived tokens and use them in your applications because doing so nullifies the security advantages that tokens offer.

Note: For the above reasons, it is not recommended that the Management API Access Token Expiration be removed. Use short expiration times and issue a new one every time it is needed.
