OAuth tokens enable you to approve applications (such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn) to act on your behalf without sharing your user credentials every time a query is made.

If you have trouble accessing a data source, it may be because your OAuth token has expired. Reasons for token expiration for Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram may include:

• Tokens for some services expire after a set time period and need to be re-authorized. Go here to learn how to re-authorize an expired OAuth token.
• The account password was changed.
• You were removed as a user from Business Manager.
• You were removed as a user from the social network.
• Posts on your social site were reported or flagged.
• Community guidelines were violated.
• You exceeded API limitations.
• You chose to prevent an application from accessing your account.

LinkedIn social connections expire every 60 days. We recommend you set a reminder for yourself to re-authorize your account every 60 days to prevent data disruptions.
