Description
Hi, I would like to know please when the OAuth token generated with “Get Access Token” expires ?
When I’ve generated for the fist time it expires after a hour aprox. After generating the second time with this button it’s still valid and it passes more then 12 hours.

Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?
OAuth

Hey @LCristian,

OAuth access tokens expire after 1 hour. Checkout our OAuth guide here:

Thanks,

@Tommy after I generated the second time from ‘Send a Test Request -> Get Access Token’ days ago…it didn’t expire after that. I’m still using that one from days ago and this is why I asked. Perhaps is not a fixed time ? and I should expect to expire anytime ?

Hey @LCristian,

Since you added your API Key and Secret it is most likely refreshing the token for you since you are signed into our doc page.

Thanks,

Tommy,

Don’t know exactly what this means but I should implement regenerating the token for each request needed from my app ? I am in doubt since my token is still working without refresing it.

Cristian

Hey @LCristian,

What is the Client/API ID/Key of the app? I am happy to look into this further.

Thanks,
Tommy

Just now my token has expired.

Hey @LCristian,

I am guessing it was cached since you were signed in, and each time it would refresh the token for you.

Thanks,
