Generated access token
Can someone help me? Every time I generate an access token for my integration it changes within 30-45 seconds and my integration fails. Is there something I am missing as to why the code would only...
Hi Mwidders,
To be honest, I'm not completely aware what exactly you have in mind. There is NO such thing like "token code"! Different authentication ways can be used to authenticate your link to Dropbox and all they end with access token that is in use in regular API' calls. One such way is using confirmation code. This code is "one shot" type and strongly limited in time! It's just the first authentication flow step and can NOT be used repeatedly. That's it, if it's confusing you.
Further, the access token itself if limited in time too. Can be used for 4 hours at most (exact period is mentioned in "expires_in" field in seconds). To prolong provided access without additional user interaction, you have to query offline access and keep the refresh token (it doesn't expire). 😉
Hope this clarifies matter.
