@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 ---

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. Regards, Cristian ---

Hey @LCristian, I am guessing it was cached since you were signed in, and each time it would refresh the token for you. Thanks, Tommy ---
