Re: Intermittent OAUTH_TOKEN_INVALID error

Thanks for the reply!  

Are you saying that we would not see an "expired token" error when the access token has expired?  I assumed that an invalid token error meant the refresh token was invalid, in which case our code does not continue, expecting that a new refresh token must be generated. I did see in the documentation about the automatic refreshing by the client library, which we use, and since our process continues, I think eventually the automatic refreshing works.

Should we just retry if we get an invalid token error? 

Thank again for your help!

Hi Latha,

Access tokens have an expiration time. If you are using the token after it has expired, you would get a OAUTH_TOKEN_INVALID error. You should then use the refresh token to get a new access token or to refresh an expired token. If you are using any of the client libraries, by default, the expired access token gets automatically refreshed.

I hope this helps.
