Access token not beeing refreshed automatically

Dropbox Community ModeratorYes, I tried the code you shared, plugging in valid refresh token, etc. values, and it worked for me.
Please review the list in my previous message for reasons why that would fail for you. Check and update your values as necessary to make sure you're providing correct and valid refresh token, etc. credentials.
i an not understand and will need more assistance.
in my up i am always using the DropboxTeamClient creating it with all the necessary parameters
like this.
var client = new DropboxTeamClient(request.AccessToken, request.RefreshToken, request.Expires, ClientId, ClientSecret);
now after that i am checking if the client is in the new space or the old one
like this
var account = await client.AsMember(request.AsMember).Users.GetCurrentAccountAsync();
var spaceclient = client.AsMember(request.AsMember).WithPathRoot(new PathRoot.Root(account.RootInfo.RootNamespaceId));
if (account.RootInfo.IsTeam)
{
metadata = await spaceclient.Files.ListFolderAsync(folderId);
}
else
{
metadata = await client.AsMember(request.AsMember).Files.ListFolderAsync(folderId)
}
now sometimes i need to call this
client.Team.MembersListAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);
and befoe every call i am calling the
var client = new DropboxTeamClient(request.AccessToken, request.RefreshToken, request.Expires, ClientId, ClientSecret);
and I need it because that sometimes i am handing for the same client al the data content and all the user and groups as well
and my issue is that after the token is expire i am getting the error that was in the first message .
400 error
i am really need to get to the bottom of this and understand is completely
Thank you
Hi Omri1984,
Can you just print (or display somehow) content of "request.RefreshToken"? Is there something that looks like valid refresh token or not exactly? 🧐
Hope this gives direction.
something like this
ZEaFs***lgUAAAAAAAAAARUCp-9WwOK************************PIUr3P72**********Eg
does it make sense ?
Hi again Omri1984,
To be honest I expected your token empty, but it seems Ok, at least. Let's see is it really Ok or not actually. Execute following command in terminal:
curl https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token -d grant_type=refresh_token -d refresh_token=ZEaFs***lgUAAAAAAAAAARUCp-9WwOK************************PIUr3P72**********Eg -u 12APP_KEY3HERE45:abcAPP_SECRETdHEREefg
Place actual values on their corresponding places. You can use other standalone HTTP client, able to perform such a request, if curl is missing or inconvenient for your. Does the command completes successfully or gives back error (if error, what kind of error - post the result)?

You don't need to do the above "before every call". Changing client representation is enough. Otherwise, you are slowing down your speed up to 2 times (on every regular API call one more refresh call). It's meaningless.

Omri1984 It sounds like there's an issue with the credentials you're supplying, so trying the call outside of the SDK as Здравко suggested should be a useful test.
I added some logs to check my cred during the running .
I will update here, it holiday now so in a few days ,
thanks for the help.
by the way.
if create a new DropboxTeamClient(request.AccessToken, request.RefreshToken,request.Expires,ClientId,ClientSecret);
can I call those methods
var account = await client.AsMember(request.AsMember).Users.GetCurrentAccountAsync();
var spaceclient = client.AsMember(request.AsMember).WithPathRoot(new PathRoot.Root(account.RootInfo.RootNamespaceId));
if (account.RootInfo.IsTeam)
{
await spaceclient.Files.ListFolderAsync(folderId)}
await client.Team.MembersListAsync()
await client.AsMember(request.AsMember).Files.ListFolderAsync(folderId)
and another question ,When using the .Net SDK when is the refresh token is happening?
does it happen for every method ?
does it happen when creating the client (new DropboxTeamClient(request.AccessToken, request.RefreshToken,request.Expires,ClientId,ClientSecret);)
Thank you

...Hi Omri1984,
Overall idea is correct (only representation change 😉); you may need to check your syntax, etc in your end variant. Additional optimization can be done as "cache" your 'representation' , if in particular limited place multiple calls need to be performed sequentially (less objects construct/destruct -> will left one representation construct at beginning and one destruct at the end).

Yes and No. On every method call, SDK (all of them - not only .Net) check if current access token exists and its validity. That's what's done mandatory. If there is not available access token or it's going to expire (or already expired), refresh gets performed (which means once on every 4 hours roughly, if you use your code continuously).

No, it doesn't happen on client object creation time, but on methods execution (as I mentioned above). Warning: on client object creation, the state is reset, which means almost mandatory first call will need to refresh the token! As mentioned something meaningless. That's why it's not good idea to create client object continuously for every call, cosa the call gonna be forced to refresh (not the object construction itself). ".Net" SDK implementation doesn't provide currently some way to keep current state (like Java SDK or Python SDK). That's why the last state can't be restored (without some hacks/patches). Seems like a design bug. Let's hope this bug will be fixed.
Hope it's a bit more clear now.
