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?

since you want access token using client_credentials you will have to use username and password as well

check this link and response from Ram

OAuth : Script to Automate Token Request 

sharing here as well

var req = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();
req.setEndPoint( < OAUTh end point URL >);
req.setHttpMethod('POST');
req.setRequestHeader('content-type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded') 
req.setRequestBody(grant_type=" + grant_type + "&username=" + username + "&password="+encodeURI(pwd)+ "&client_id="+client_id+"+ "&client_secret="+client_secret));
var response = req.ExecuteAsync();
response.WaitForResponse(10);
var responseBody = response.getBody();
var obj = JSON.parse(responseBody);
gs.info('Token : "+obj.access_token);

This is not the way that I want to do Ankur

I have rest message created for it  and OAuth Provider and Profile attached to Rest message.

either with the rest message or with the Provider or Profile I need to get the access token.??

Note: When I click on Rest Message Get OAuth Token I am able to see flow was successful and access token is populated in Oauth_credentials table.

that's what I am saying.

You can use the script to generate the access token before making the actual API call where you require the token to be passed in header
