[RDP Authentication Inquiry] refresh_token Not Working Properly

Hi, I am using Python to issue and use an RDP Authentication Token.
However, during my testing, I found that when I send a request with grant_type='refresh_token'
, the same access_token
and refresh_token
are returned in the response as those sent in the request. As a result, even when I send a request with grant_type='refresh_token'
, the tokens expire after 5 minutes.
Below is the code from my testing. I attempted refreshing every minute, but as you can see from the logs, the same access_token
and refresh_token
are continuously returned. Eventually, after 5 minutes—or sometimes even earlier—I receive a 400 error. Could this be due to a contractual limitation or restriction on the use of the refresh_token
?
refresh_interval = 60 auth_url = "https://api.refinitiv.com:443/auth/oauth2/v1/token" data = { 'username': username, 'password': password, 'grant_type': 'password', 'takeExclusiveSignOnControl': 'true', 'scope': 'trapi'} response = requests.post(auth_url, headers={'Accept': 'application/json'}, data=data, auth=(client_id, ''), verify=True, allow_redirects=False) response.raise_for_status() auth_response = response.json() print("[create_token] Refinitiv Data Platform Authentication succeeded. RECEIVED:") print(json.dumps(auth_response, sort_keys=True, indent=2, separators=(',', ':'))) refinitiv_token_info = { "access_token": auth_response["access_token"], "refresh_token": auth_response["refresh_token"], "expired_time": time.time() + refresh_interval } print(f"[create_token] Token created successfully.") print(json.dumps(refinitiv_token_info, sort_keys=True, indent=2, separators=(',', ':'))) token_for_refresh = refinitiv_token_info["refresh_token"] while 1: data = {'refresh_token': token_for_refresh, 'grant_type': 'refresh_token'} print("[refresh_token] Sending authentication request with refresh token to", auth_url, "...") print(f"[refresh_token] post data: {data}") response = requests.post(auth_url, headers={'Accept': 'application/json'}, data=data, auth=(client_id, '') ) response.raise_for_status() auth_response = response.json() print("[refresh_token] Refinitiv Data Platform Authentication succeeded. RECEIVED:") print(json.dumps(data, sort_keys=True, indent=2, separators=(',', ':'))) refinitiv_token_info = { "access_token": auth_response['access_token'], "refresh_token": auth_response['refresh_token'], "expired_time": time.time() + refresh_interval } print(f"[refresh_token] Token created successfully.") print(json.dumps(refinitiv_token_info, sort_keys=True, indent=2, separators=(',', ':'))) token_for_refresh = refinitiv_token_info["refresh_token"] print('-'*150) time.sleep(60)

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I ran the code and found that the refresh token will be the same but the access tokens are different.
The first part of access tokens are quite similar. You need to check the last part. For example:
print(auth_response["access_token"][-10:])
You may need to add the login to compare the access tokens in the code.

Hello @younaDev,
I am not sure if you want to use streaming service (RTO), or just REST API, but there are working Python and Postman samples which can get you started quickly and overcome these trivial issues.
