I have some working code for the Admin Audit API. It works great, except after a period of no use (say 24 hours) the API throws the following error - 401: Invalid Credentials. This happens when using the same credentials that previously worked before the period of no use. It's almost like the token is expiring (which could well be the case). Does anyone have any info or advice on this?

What token? ClientLogin (username/password)? Yes, those expire every 24 hours so you'll need to get a new one.

The best practice here would be to use 3-legged OAuth, once you have an OAuth access token, it won't expire until you or the user revoke it...
