Hi @Community Alums ,

 

Can you check this - https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB2058755

 

  1. Initial manual authorization: You perform the authorization code grant flow manually one time to obtain both an access token and a refresh token.
  2. Store the refresh token: The refresh token has a much longer lifespan than the access token. You must securely store this token, which is a sensitive credential.
  3. Automate access token retrieval: When your access token expires, your automated script or application uses the refresh token to request a new access token from the /oauth_token.do endpoint. This can be done programmatically with a POST request and requires no user interaction.
