I am using the graph API explorer and I am generating the access token using the right navigation panel with read_attribution credentials.
The issue I am facing is the token I am generating is not permanent. How can I get a permanent token?
You need to contact Facebook in order to get permanant tokens

At the moment, I am trying to download dark posts from the /{user-id}/promotable_posts edge. From the documentation, I can download them using a user token with the ads_management permission or with a page access token.
I am able to check for the permission using the /debug_token node, but I need a way to determine if an access token is a page access token using code/api calls.
Thanks
You can do it by GET https://graph.facebook.com/v2.7/debug_token?input_token={access_token}&access_token={access_token}. If it is a page, response will contains profile_id which is the page id
I know how to get short-term user access token then extend it to long-term access token (facebook) when i have my own app id and app secret. But now I want to get and extend the access token provided by Graph Api Explorer. How can I do it ?
If we do it manually, we get an access token from Graph Api Explorer but its short term and will expires in about 1 hours, how can I make it a long-term access token?
This is not possible. To extend the Access Tokens, you must utilize an app_id as well as an app_secret. I assume you don't have the app_secret of the Graph Explorer, so this might get difficult.

I still have this issue and Tobi not understood the problem.
The Facebook Access Tokens are really problematic most of times and this is one of the bigger issue.
I have a facebook stream plugin where user can show their personal profile posts.
But the only access token that work is the one generated by Graph API Explorer and this can not be extended. Any other access token associated to an APP will not work.
Is incredible that Facebook not have a tool to allow users to generate an access token for access their personal informations.
Currently there is not any working solution. Incredible.
I had an unknown permission exception when I tried to update/create/delete or doing anything my Page properties by using FB.api . I tried again by using Graph API Explore but it still gave me same error. I used google for 2 days but there wasn't any correct answer.
Below screenshot is my app Settings in the Adminster Page's account:

And here is the Graph API Expore screenshots:

Next is the error:

Please help me. Thanks too much.
You need a page access token.
Page Access Token – These access tokens are similar to user access
tokens, except that they provide permission to APIs that read, write
or modify the data belonging to a Facebook Page. To obtain a page
access token you need to start by obtaining a user access token and
asking for the manage_pages permission. Once you have the user access
token you then get the page access token via the Graph API.
Doc: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens/
Then use GET /me/accounts to get the access token associated to your page.
there is a problem with my access token. I have made my own application, and I took the permission from the facebook user, who is me. And also I have given the same permissions to the facebook graph api. However when I can easily get the results using FQL with graph api access token, but I cannot get the result with my own application access token. What is the problem with my access token.
It is not user access token. Maybe this can be problem however also graph api is not also user access token.
Per the error message you need to use a user access token retrieved via the Authentication flow - you cannot use an app access token for this.
You mentioned in the comments you're successfully using an access token from the Graph API Explorer tool - this is also a user access token which the tool retrieves using the client-side oauth flow. This is not the same as using an app access token for your own app.
Interesting problem I'm having right now.
Signing in an App gives a access token looking something like this:
AAACwFsGcSr4BAOGUTwfuZAWuUcwZC0rJ7noZCKMqhBI7ivDCsIGqduGIZCus5PRaS6KuREqxLmhfvZAZAkz5WCpFfANtUpYHgZD
This access token can't access users PUBLIC information, while one issued by Facebook on developers.facebook.com - CAN.
You can easily test this by logging to your facebook and going to this link: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/
You'll see that Facebook automatically generates access token on DEMO urls like this one:
https://graph.facebook.com/me/music
?access_token=2227470867|2.AQCvlA_ZaJ2MfRR0.3600.1318266000.0-100001572415177|2FeweU6ZvOQS9OCF5ZBV58_PtPg
If you would change /ME/ to any user which has his MUSIC posted as public, you WILL be able to access that data with Graph API.
Now try to get an access token to your APP and call the same Graph API method with generated access token, the returned data is empty JSON object.
Whats’ the difference between these access tokens? How to obtain access token, that I could get public information using Graph API?
I was thinking that logging in your APP is the highest possible access token and the only higher token is token with specified permissions...
Any guidelines would be great :)
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/permissions/
I believe the difference is that you can specify additional permissions in a scope parameter,
so if you wanted to read a user's feed you would have to specify read_stream. I was trying to accomplish this with an access token from a server-side authentication flow in ruby, but the access token only allowed to me to navigate accross a certain portion of graph.facebook.com/user_id/feed? requests. If you get any insights or comes across a solution shoot it my way too, if you can.
