Generating app_token

[jackstruck]

Currently I generate an access token in pretty much the same steps as @skylarcheung outline's here however I'd like to try to do this programatically instead of manually every 60 days. With access to the app id and secret, what call would I need to make to get the token, and then extend it?

Currently trying the following to get the token:
response = requests.get(f"https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id={app_id}&client_secret={app_secret}&grant_type=client_credentials")
but the returned app_token does not work when I try to pull political ads data or try to extend it:
second_response = requests.get(f"https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id={app_id}&client_secret={app_secret}&grant_type=fb_exchange_token&fb_exchange_token={app_token}")

(I am verified and when I manually generate the token and extend it I am able to pull ads without issue)
