Question / Help Regularly schedule Facebook Live and not have to get new key?

Our TV station has a number of live shows every week and there are new shows every week.
I noticed when generating a streaming key on Facebook Live that the keys are only good for a few days.
I have windows scheduler starting and stopping OBS with my Facebook profile and it works fine.

Our whole facility is automated and I need this to be another automated task.
How do I go about making this work without getting new keys every few days?
Or is there an alternate way of doing this?

Thanks

Dave

Unfortunately, from what I understand, that is how Facebook designed their system. You'd have to take that issue up with them. The only thing I can think of with things as they currently are would be to devise a way outside of OBS to trigger the "Go Live" action on Facebook Live, fetch the stream key, then provide the stream key to OBS, start the OBS stream, and then start the Facebook stream.
