How can I obtain a permanent token for batch data processing in a Shopify app?

Hi, we are working on a Shopify application to generate relevant data for the people who install the app. We need the historic data of the client. We used to get the data using the token Shopify provided us when a user installs the application. This way we can process a large amount of data using our batch system.

When we were about to publish the app, the Shopify team ask us to change the app to use sessions tokens. As long as the token is temporary and is able to expire, we cant use those tokens to get de data information from our systems. Is there a way to get a permanent token? Is there another way to get the data from our system?

Thanks in advance.

It’s strange that Shopify asks you to use session token for batch processing. I believe the token you get when installing the app should be used for your use case.
