Graph API explorer for testing the app & also generating SHORT_LIVED_TOKEN

But Use a Long Lived Token on the script( Use a Page AccessToken to test the Graph API)

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

def exchange_for_long_lived_token(short_lived_token, app_id, app_secret):
    # Make a request to the Facebook Graph API to exchange the token
    params = {
        'grant_type': 'fb_exchange_token',
        'client_id': app_id,
        'client_secret': app_secret,
        'fb_exchange_token': short_lived_token,
    }

Then use this long token if you don't want the token to expire frequently to outlive token to as long as 60 Days
