Refreshing Access Tokens

As you start making API calls using the access_token you now have, you will soon encounter a 401 Unauthorized responses which can usually mean a couple of things -

1. You are trying to use an API that the user has not authorized your app to use. Check the scopes you are asking your users to authorize your app for.

2. The access_token has expired. You will need to generate a new access_token using the magical refresh_token that you encountered earlier in Step 2.

Regenerate access tokens using refresh token

To generate or create a new access token, make a POST call with parameters similar to the ones you used in Step 2.

POST https://api.signeasy.com/oauth2/token

const request = require("request");

const options = {
  method: 'POST',
  url: 'https://api-ext-dev.getsigneasy.com/oauth/token',
  json: true,
  formData: {
    client_id: <CLIENT_ID>,
    client_secret: <CLIENT_SECRET>,
    grant_type: 'refresh_token',
    refresh_token: <REFRESH_TOKEN>
  }
};

request(options, function (error, response, body) {
  if (error) throw new Error(error);

  console.log(body);
});
