Facebook long term access tokens using the Javascript sdk

I have obtained a short term access token using the simple Javascript SDK. Now, to obtain the long term access token, I can use ajax or make a simple REST call in Javascript.

 $.ajax({
            url: 'https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token,
            type: 'GET',
            data: 'grant_type=fb_exchange_token&client_id=' + appID + '&client_secret=' + appSecret + '&fb_exchange_token=' + short_term_access_token,
            success: function(response) { alert(reponse); }
        });

But is there an API with the Facebook Javascript SDK to obtain the long term access token in exchange for the short term one?

You need to pass the token to your server-side code to do the exchange token. Don't put your app secret in client-side, it's not safe!!
