Perfect, it looks right.

Just a question : i had my token , generate 1 or 2 days ago and that didn't work.

If i go in App console i didn't see it and o i generate again.

How is valid a token ? 

should i generate a new one every time i use my web app ?

Access token is short lived, so you may use it for limited time - typically 4 hours or so. If you plan to rely on access token only then, Yes, you will need new every time you are using your application. There is alternative though. 😉 Take a look here for a possible way.

Hope this helps.
