Currently, I am using a short-lived token. Since it is short, it is valid for a very short duration and I don't want to make my user login after every short duration of time.

Hi Ankit,

Thank you for reaching support. An access token has an expiration time (based on the expires_in value) after which the token is no longer valid. You can use the refresh token to refresh an expired access token. Please refer to this guide to create OAuth2 refresh token to automatically renew OAuth2 access. By default, our client libraries automatically refresh expired access tokens. Let us know if this helps
