expires_in Units

[Kevin]

The following documentation page, https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2WebServer, defines the response you get from a token request, but fails to indicate the units of measure for the "expires_in" field.  It simply says, "The remaining lifetime on the access token".  It seems like a suitable data type would be an integer, but are they seconds, minutes, hours, days, or what?

Last few times I’ve looked, they are seconds. I’ll see if there’s a reason for the lack of documentation. -T
