Get Redresh Token Using VBA

[RonAnderson]

Hi, I have an Excel application which uses extensive VBA. I'm able to seamlessly download data from my Caspio database and place it on to my spreadsheet but the next day I have to renew the token. I know there's a method of refreshing the token automatically and here is where I'm stuck. Does anyone have experience of VBA code and how this can be written using credentials held in ARC REST API Client?

Here's the coded I'm trying to use:-

Sub GetRefreshToken()
Dim getTokenUrl As String

getTokenUrl = "https://xxxxxxxxx.caspio.com/oauth/token&code=" & "&client_id=myCLIENTstring&client_secret=myCLIENTsecret"

authKey = "originaltoken"

Dim Http As MSXML2.XMLHTTP60
Set Http = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.6.0")

With Http
    .Open "GET", getTokenUrl, False
    .setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "Bearer " & authKey
    .send ("")
End With
Do While Http.readyState <> 4
Loop

Response = Http.responseText

End Sub
 

Kind regards, Ron

Hi RonAnderson,

Instead of using AccessToken, you may use the refresh token which is valid for 1 year. You may check: https://howto.caspio.com/web-services-api/rest-api/authenticating-rest/#:~:text=Token Expiration and Renewal
