Programatically check when Facebook Graph API access token expires

Is there an API end point to get the information available here?

I would like to be able to check in code when the access token expires.

When you log in with facebook javascript SDK, it gives you an "expiresIn" value, under "autheResponse" object.

I believe this number to be in seconds.

Unfortunately i'm not sure how to extend that number, or request a longer expiration date, etcs.

Apologises for not being super precise, facebook API always leave this "unsure" feeling.

EDIT: Maybe you might want to check instructions for "extending tokens":

There is no specific end point to check access_tokens, instead you can call /me using the access_token you have until it returns an error.
