My app is currently using OAuth at a user-level to access the zoom API. This works great, but it appears that refresh\_token is expiring entirely sooner than I had anticipated.

I looked through the API documentation and haven’t been able to find anything; is there any specification of when the refresh\_token expires? If so, what is it?

Hey @Randolpho, thanks for posting and using Zoom!

The access\_token lasts for 60 minutes.

The refresh\_token lasts for 15 years.

[You can see detailed info on how to use the OAuth flow noting the expirations here.](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/authorization/oauth/oauth-with-zoom)

Thanks,  
Tommy
