Refresh Token?

[tthai27]

Hi,

Can someone help me find this refresh token?

I need it for PayPal Express Checkout Server-side REST implementation. It's used to generate an access token.

Thanks!

Hi,

Details on authentication via REST API are available here : https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/overview/#authentication-and-authorization

Once you have requested an access token, cache the OAuth access token and re-use it to avoid rate-limiting -- https://developer.paypal.com/docs/rate-limiting/

Justin,

Not sure I follow.

How does one exchange the old access token for a new one after it expires? Typically with OAuth2 you'd receive a refresh_token when you initially authenticate (and then use that to get an updated access token), but I'm not seeing any mention of how to get the refresh_token in the docs.

Could you please shed more light on that process and the endpoint(s) we should hit to make it happen?

i try to use this **bleep**  api known as rest paypal api .. no examples no structured ressources **bleep** architecture..

so my question is the same how to get refreshed token without to read all the documentation of the api and the Documentation of the OAuth 2.0

and the docs of IDConnect.. after all, we are in an object-oriented world.. we do not need to no how Paypal created his **bleep** world ..

the language, that i use is java in spring Boot
