Thanks for following up. I can't say for sure exactly what happened here, but I'm glad to hear you got this working. For reference, any given access token, expired or not, shouldn't cause an API call to hang. The server would respond with either success or an error, or the call would eventually time out if there's a network issue. If you can reproduce the issue though, let us know how to do so and we'll be happy to look into it.

Hi Greg,

 

   Sorry didn't reply before. No, I didn't actually get it working yet with an expired token - my code was working because I had an unexpired token now. I still haven't had the code around an expired token work yet, but since I had an unexpired token I've had to move onto more urgent things. I'll be coming back to this when I have time.
