Hi,

We are building our system against your API.

Now I have difficulties with your token. The token is only valid for 30 minutes.
I need an token that is valid for a long time (like github tokens etc) for our backend.
Can you tell me how to do this? Or can I use the api keys for this?
Or can you provide me with one.

Thanks,
Rick de Hoop

So how do I do this for V1?

it simple, same way as you got it first time: you need to go trough authentification again in V1

Refresh token can be used only once but the lifetime is not limited.
Token lifetime is 30 minutes.

After token expired you can new token and refresh token by refresh token, that you have.
