Is there any way to get long-lived code/access tokens for Instagram Basic Display Api?

Question

Access token is being expired after one hour as it is also mentioned in API documentation. It is not convenient for the users to authorize again after every hour.

Please let me know if there is any other way to get long-lived tokens or refresh the token.

Documentation reference is below: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api/overview

Thank you

There is non. I don't know why. It's crazy for me. You are even not allowed to use it for authentification and are forced to use Facebook Login. — Philipp Mochine, Nov 06 '19 at 14:34
@Shadrix 2 days ago long-lived tokens with refresh capabilities came out for the Instagram Basic API. — David, Dec 09 '19 at 03:36

You can now get long-lived Instagram User Access Tokens which are valid for 60 days and can be refreshed. Please note that long-lived access tokens are currently in Beta.
