Threads Authorization API
Authorization is a required step to get the necessary user permissions to act on behalf of the user. Please take a look at the [walkthrough of the authentication process](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/threads/get-started/get-access-tokens-and-permissions). Once the access token is retrieved, use the [access token debugger](https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/accesstoken) to check if the access token has the correct permissions (including `threads_basic`, `threads_content_publish`, `threads_read_replies`, `threads_manage_replies`, `threads_manage_insights`) and verify that the access token hasn't expired. Follow the [documentation](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/threads/get-started/long-lived-tokens) to exchange a short-lived Threads User Access Token for a long-lived token and refresh unexpired long-lived Threads User Access tokens. **Note:** The `threads_basic` permission is sufficient for the exchange or refresh process.
