Hi shinestar9101987,

You need refresh token for long term access since long lived access token was dropped. Currently all new access token are short lived. Here you can see an example how refresh token bahaves. Once you get to a refresh token, you can use it to initialize SDK client object. Take a look on the corresponding SDK's examples.

Hope this helps.
