Refreshing access tokens

Refresh expired access tokens using the refresh_token.

Remember: the refresh_token is obtained by requesting the offline_access scope during the authorization flow, and is available in the Obtain token response.

Refresh token request

1POST /oauth2/token
2Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
3
4grant_type=refresh_token
5&refresh_token=REFRESH_TOKEN
6&client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
7&client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET

Response

1{
2  "access_token": "<ACCESS_TOKEN>",
3  "expires_in": 1209599,
4  "id_token": "<ID_TOKEN>",
5  "refresh_token": "<REFRESH_TOKEN>",
6  "scope": "offline_access openid business/orders:read",
7  "token_type": "bearer"
8}

The response contains a new access_token and refresh_token. The new refresh_token must be stored and used for subsequent refresh requests.

Handling refresh token failures

Your application must handle refresh token failures:

  • Expired refresh token: Redirect user to authorization URL to re-grant consent.
  • Revoked access: User has revoked your application’s access.
  • Invalid client: Check your client credentials.
