Yes, but it is just setup nothing related to token refresh. basically, my software stopped after 4 hours first it showed the error of an expired access token. So, I used this method by searching. Can you please point out the corrections in my code?

In order to get this working, please set up the client by supplying the refresh token, etc., to it directly, as shown in the example, so that it can perform the refresh process for you. That way, it can continue performing API calls successfully for more than four hours.
