How to make access token refreshed for every an hour?

[Manikantahere]

If I am calling the Rest Message from the Script I need to explicitly pass the access token as a authorization header but the life span of it is 1hr.

Do I need to write Schedule job or as I attached OAuth Profile it will automatically refresh it in ServiceNow??? 

Note: Its not refreshing for me am I missing any configuration?

you can get the access token every time just before your actual API call

You can use script to obtain the refresh and access token from script

I am actually getting access token when I click on Get OAuth Token from Rest Message however as I always call Rest Message from the script I mandatorily need to pass access token as Authorization Header.

I am not able to utilize the above mentioned articles to use token inside my script.

Note: I kept  Grant Type as Client Credentials in OAuth Profile that I attached to Rest Message.

One I need to fetch the access token to pass it as a authorization and one more struggle I am facing is  I need to get the new access token before its life span ends.?

The links I shared will help you getting access token.

Use that just before calling your actual REST Message and use that token in header

With this you need not worry about the lifespan of access token as you are getting it every time.

Thanks for your response Ankur!!

The below script I tried from Background Script it is returning null saying failed to find the oauth entity.

In request token I tried with both the names and sys'Ids of Oauth provider and Oauth entity profiles.?
