There doesn't seem to be a refresh_token flow. The expiration is 1 hour, so it's not terrible. But I'd like to extend the session while the user is still actively using the web app.
As mentioned in the Answer
To refresh the access token in a transparent way for the end-user you have to use the Refresh Token, This token will also come in the response to your call.
With this token, you can do a POST call to the URL: https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token with the following request body
client_id: <YOUR_CLIENT_ID>
client_secret: <YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>
refresh_token: <REFRESH_TOKEN_FOR_THE_USER>
grant_type: refresh_token
refresh token never expires so you can use it any number of times. The response will be a JSON like this:
{
"access_token": "your refreshed access token",
"expires_in": 3599,
"scope": "Set of scope which you have given",
"token_type": "Bearer"
}
You can also refer to the Github issue and Answer where a suggested approach is to use a listener and reloadAuth.
For more information, you can refer to the documentation ,Answer and doc.
