Re: Oauth2 refresh token question - what happens when the refresh token expires?

May I know what is the " auth_code" here. how can I get it?   authorize_url = auth_flow.start() print("1. Go to: " + authorize_url) print("2. Click \"Allow\" (you might have to log in first).")...

That's correct, the "auth_code" variable there should contain the "authorization code", which is a single-use code from the app authorization page that the app then exchanges for an access token and optional refresh token, by calling /oauth2/token. I recommend reading the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation for more information.
