Authentication for once off scripts

Hi Andre,

Did you check the rest of the forum? The post below yours gives the correct answer…

Hi Randal, I’m afraid the very nature of access tokens is that they expire, and a non-expiring token is not desirable as it introduces a security risk. All is not lost however, as when you receive an access token you will also get a refresh token which can be used in future to obtain further access tokens as they expire. https://dev.freeagent.com/docs/oauth#the-access-token-request Your app will need to either refresh the access token periodically before it expires, or handle responses after …

I also run a number of reports from FreeAgent every night using the API. I just give the scripts the refresh token and get the scripts to refresh and get a new access token whenever they need it

I hope this helps.
