Does Strava refresh_token ever expires?

[converge]

Hi,

I would like to know if the Strava refresh tokens ever get expired?

Real scenario:

my user authenticates and my application stores the "access and refresh tokens"

my user dont user my application in the past 3 years

my "access token" is expired (after 6hrs)

and the "refresh token" I stored 3 years ago is available.

Question is, will a new access token be issued using my 3 years old refresh token?

As per the docs. refresh tokens only expire when they are used and following explicit deauthorization. So yes, in theory the refresh token should work 3 seconds or 3 years after it was issued.

In the worst case that it didn't work due to some strange undocumented reason, the athelete would have to re-authorise your application.

Greetings.

Not too long ago, I had to reauthorize my application. 

Best regards,

Gowtham

When you refresh the access_token, the response includes the current value of the refresh_token. So you can update both both tokens in the database, just in case the refresh_token has changed. That's very unlikely but you never know with this API...
