Long-lived (non-expiring) tokens can no longer be generated. They were deprecated and later replaced with short-lived and refresh tokens. A refresh token is used to automatically renew access as needed.
how to generate short live tokens using fetch api

bspindia Apps can get long-term access by requesting "offline" access, in which case the app receives a "refresh token" that can be used to retrieve new short-lived access tokens as needed, without further manual user intervention. You can find more information in the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation. I don't have a sample for this with fetch in particular, but there's a basic outline of processing this flow in this blog post which may serve as a useful example so you can translate it to fetch.
