102 Session Expired

API Error REST Code 102

The user's login session tied to the access token has become invalid. This happens when a user logs out of Facebook, changes their password, or the session times out after an extended period.

What causes this error?

The user’s login session tied to the access token has become invalid. This happens when a user logs out of Facebook, changes their password, or the session times out after an extended period.

How to fix it

  1. Re-authenticate: Redirect the user through the Facebook Login flow again to get a fresh session and new access token.
  2. Use long-lived tokens: Exchange short-lived tokens (which expire in ~1 hour) for long-lived tokens (which last ~60 days) using the /oauth/access_token endpoint.
  3. Implement token refresh logic: Build automatic token refresh into your application so that expired sessions are handled gracefully without breaking your ad management workflows.
