thanks for you reply, I have solved this problem.

Seems I refresh token every 5 minutes is too frequently , so I changed it to refresh token 5 minutes before the token expires.

everything works fine for now

Hi @qp-96

You can use our "Apex tool" here to test out an API call for an access token. Be sure that your call mirrors what the Apex Tool is doing. If there is an issue with your call, there may be a firewall or issue with your server that could be blocking the request. Keep in mind, the Apex Tool is for Sandbox calls and not live calls.

I hope that helps!
