Refresh Access Token

Refresh Access Token

Learn to generate a refreshed access token with a new expiry.

We'll cover the following...

Generate refreshed API keys

Click the "Run" button in the widget below to refresh the ACCESS_TOKEN.

Note: Make sure the values for the CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, ACCESS_TOKEN, REFRESH_TOKEN, and EXPIRY are already set.

Python 3.8
Files
from google.oauth2.credentials import Credentials
try:
    credentials = Credentials.from_authorized_user_file('token.json')
    refresh_token(credentials)
except:
    print("Please enter your access token data in the token.json file")

The above code generates a new value for the ACCESS_TOKEN with a new EXPIRY. These two values along with the REFRESH_TOKEN are displayed and extracted from the output to be saved as API keys.

Click the "Save" button to save the keys.
