{
"access_token": "ej577asf-a5k6-42yq-a3a2-fh03hb8cb58c",
"token_type": "Bearer",
"expires_in": 3600,

The access_token is valid for 1 hour and should be reused until it expires. When the token expires, the API will return 401 UNAUTHORIZED.
To get a new access_token you can use the refresh token grant_type
| Code Block |
|---|
curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://beta-api.ambita.com:443/authentication/v2/token -d "
{
\"grant_type\": \"refresh_token\",
\"refresh_token\": \"aj274ajd-t1s8-48sk-v5m1-shf64j9bq25a\"
}"
|
The refresh_token is valid for 30 days and should be stored securely and only be used to get new access_token. The refresh token grant_type will also return a new refresh_token, you should replace your existing refresh_token with the new one, the new refresh_token is valid for another 30 days. If the refresh_token expires, you need to authenticate with client, credentials and grant_type password again.
