Note: The #microsoft.graph.downloadUrl value is a short-lived URL and can't be cached. The URL will only be available for a short period of time (1 hour) before it is invalidated.
In the tutorial, the download url expires after an hour. How do I get a permanent download address?
error Message
Sorry, something went wrong
The access token has expired. It's valid from '11/11/2020 1:18:52 AM' and to '11/11/2020 2:18:52 AM'.
"The lifetime of an access token is 1 hour. Have you tried to use the refresh token to obtain a new access token, or customize the lifetime of the access token?"
Please try the same as suggested above by Carl. You need to use the refresh token to obtain a new access token or customize the lifetime of the access token. Here's the document.
Note: The #microsoft.graph.downloadUrl value is a short-lived URL and can't be cached. The URL will only be available for a short period of time (1 hour) before it is invalidated. Removing file permissions for a user may not immediately invalidate the URL.
The workaround was to create a share link for DriveItem and use the WebUrl as the result of the response.
The file was accessed and made available for download through WebUrl.
It seemed that the only way for non-tenant users to access it.

I've been working to setup Oauth communication for an auto-emailing node.js web app using nodemailer. (I don't wish to use gmail's Less Secure Apps setting).
I've taken steps to get the client id, secret, and refresh token from the oauth playground, and have set up the web app to use a stored refresh token to request new access tokens when it first loads.
It is able to send emails (for about 7 days), then I get error invalid status code 400 on client side, and/or invalid grant on server side.
Going back to google playground and getting another refresh token, then updating it in environment variables, solves this for another week. But I'd like to solve this indefinitely.
I read somewhere "A Google Cloud Platform project with an OAuth consent screen configured for an external user type and a publishing status of 'Testing' is issued a refresh token expiring in 7 days"... so last week I switched the app to "In Production" (at console.cloud.google.com) and tried having it verified with google. This week, the same issue has recurred suggesting that wasn't the right fix, or that it wasn't yet verified with google.
I don't know if this was done correctly, nor do I know if this is the true solution to this expiring/revoked refresh token, or invalid grant.
I've also come across these explanations:
The user has revoked your app's access.
The refresh token has not been used for six months.
The user changed passwords and the refresh token contains Gmail scopes.
The user account has exceeded a maximum number of granted (live) refresh tokens.
The client has reached a limit of 50 refresh tokens per account if it's not a service account.
(I didn't make ANY changes during the week, so...not sure why these would have changed)
Is the issue the refresh token?
Or the status of the application?
Would it be dns/cname/cloudflare server issues?
For those who have the same issue in the future:
It turned out that google verification wasn't necessary.
It seems like the refresh token expiring after a week or 7 days was due to the placement of the oauth2Client.setCredentials() function call and accessToken variable.
Calling setCredentials() and obtaining the access token INSIDE the SendEmail() function (at runtime, just before sending email, rather than at application start/spinup time) seemed like it enabled the code to more dynamically generate the tokens it needed. After 12 days, it still seems like its working so I'd call this a success.
My guess at why it wasn't working before was because setting credentials outside of a function meant that code only ran once on server/application startup. It would then store the obtained access token in a const.
The access token would eventually expire, and even if called again/later inside of a function to obtain a new access token, it would be unable to change the value of a const property/variable, and so the call would inevitably fail after a week when it failed to renew.
Hope this helps anyone else having a similar issue.
My apologies for the run-on sentences.
There are a lot of causes for invalid grant it sounds to me like your refresh token is expiring.
If your project on google developer console is still in testing, has not been moved to published and has not gone though the google application verification process then refresh tokens have a max two week life span after which they will expire which may explain your invalid grant. The thing is there is no official word from google that this is happening its just what a lot of developers are seeing these days.
Another one is with gmail scopes if the user changes their password this will also cause the refresh token to expire.
I have one quick question related to "acquiring a new access token upon expiration". I have read some tutorials where people write code to manually request a new access token.
In my case I wrote an ASP.NET MVC app to access Google APIs, such as Gmail API, and I am using API Client Library for .NET for that.
After OAuth 2.0 authorization I get back the result object of type AuthorizationCodeWebApp.AuthResult.
Where result.Credential.Token contains AccessToken and RefreshToken properties.
I save the refresh token in my web.config the very first time when it comes back (after the consent screen). All next requests dont have a refresh token, only an access token that expires after 1 hour.
So, my question is - before I make a call to instantiate a Gmail Service, I assign previously saved refresh token:
result.Credential.Token.RefreshToken = WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["RefreshToken"];
var service = new GmailService(
new BaseClientService.Initializer { HttpClientInitializer = credential });
When result.Credential.Token.AccessToken expires, does Gmail API (or any other API Client Library for .NET) acquires a new access token automatically if result.Credential.Token.RefreshToken was assigned a valid refresh token value previously saved, like in my code sample?
Thank you!
UPDATE - More clarification to my question With the same refresh token, how many times I can aquire a new access token when making calls to Google API?
I will explain: access token expires in 1 hour, right.
If I keep making calls with, lets say, 10 minutes intervals to Gmail API (for example), after 6 calls (1 hour limit), Gmail API will use my refresh token to acquire a new access token. After 6 more calls (1 more hour) the whole thing repeats itself. Question - is there a limit to it? Remember, I am not changing my refresh token. Same refresh token is being used to acquire a new access token. And for how long this repetitive calls may continue without any error?
UPDATE AFTER THE TEST
I let my application run on my local machine in Visual Studio DEBUG mode trying to catch any exception, NO Human interaction.
The application kept receiving AJAX calls to Gmail Action with 2 minutes interval, everything was working fine, I went to the gym, came back 2 hours later - oops, Visual Studio debug is open on this Token has been revoked exception, here we go, so it's clear the token was revoked by the Google API service, as you can see from the Debug window. The only question remains - why, since there are no specific details are provided, there is no Inner Exception just that general error message and no reason, but the source is clear - Google API, we can even see it came back from
Google.Apis.Requests.ClientServiceRequest`1.Execute() в
C:\Users\mdril\Documents\GitHub\google-api-dotnet-client\Src\GoogleApis\Apis\Requests\ClientServiceRequest.cs:row
96
I am guessing the service shuts down (revokes a token) after N number of calls, maybe within certain interval. If some one knows the limitations of Google API in terms of number of calls or time intervals between calls, please let me know.
It seems that Matthew Riley, the custodian of Google API on github, coded some logic to revoke a token based on some criteria: https://github.com/google/google-api-dotnet-client
Long response to comment :
One question though: can this be done indefinitely long, unlimited number of times, or I will get an error at some point?
Refresh tokens can be come invalid for the following reasons:
user can revoke it in there google account.
if a refresh token isn't used for 6 months to get a new access token it will expire automatically.
If a user authenticates your application you get a refresh token if they do it again you get a different refresh token. Both will work. you can do this up to 26 times. on the 27 th time the user Authenticates your application the first one you got will expire. You can only have 26 live refresh tokens. (DONT ASK how I know this! "#¤%&)
So assuming you don't reauthentcate your application to many times, use the refresh token at least once every six months. You can use it as many times as you want.
Update for comment:
I think you are still confused. Access tokens expire after 1 hour. Refresh tokens only expire for the above reasons you can use them as many times as you like. To get a new access token.
However you can only have 25 working refresh tokens.
Lets say I have a windows service application that backs up files to a users Google drive account. A user installs it on a server and authenticates it and gets a refresh token. Every night the windows service runs and backs up the files to google drive, it uses the refresh token to get a new access token.
Lets say this user really likes my auto super imba backup service. He installs it on another server. He gets another refresh token and the application goes about its business uploading files at night
Lets say my super user really has a server farm he installs my application on 25 servers. Those applications will be able to get new access tokens forever.
However if this crazy user installs it the 26 th time on a different server getting a new refresh token for this server. The first server they installed it on will stop working because google only allows you to have 25 outstanding refresh tokens for an application.
This is user application based so you can have any number of users each with a max of 25 refresh tokens
I recently switched to the Google+ Sign in OAuth2 hybrid approach.
When the request code is exchanged for the access token, the expiry time and created time is sent back along with the access token in seconds.
I need to know the sent timezone is. I need this to make comparison with my server's time and be able to deduce if access token has actually expired.
What's the timezone or how do I determine it?
The token bundle sent back does not include an actual expiration time, but it does contain the number of seconds for the expected life of the token. If a time is being attached to it, it is being attached by the local library.
That said - you can't necessarily trust this number. There are a number of reasons why the token may have been revoked or is treated as no longer valid. So while you can use it as an estimate of when you'll need to get a new one - you should also handle the case where you use a token and you get an authentication error, forcing you to refresh the token and try again.
My bad.
I just went through the Google PHP APi client library. Only to realize the created field was set within the library (on my server) in Google_Auth_OAuth2's authenticate method.
So it is safe to use $client->isAccessTokenExpired() instead to try to do one's computation. Works with local time (I guess :))
Thank you.
We have Azure ACS configured to issue JWT that is valid for 15 minutes. Once the user is logged-in to the web application (MVC), the user will use the token to access resources on another server (WebAPI). The WebAPI server would then validate that token.
So, is there any way to renew the JWT somehow without interrupting user's work on the web app? We don't want to popup a window and ask the user to sign in again.
Thanks!
If you are using Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) for .NET, then it includes a token cache. Per this blog post:
One last thing I’d highlight at this point is that every time you get a token from the authority ADAL adds it to a local cache. Every subsequent call to AcquireToken will examine the cache, and if a suitable token is present it will be returned right away. If a suitable token cannot be found, but there is enough information for obtaining a new one without repeating the entire authentication process (as it is the case with OAuth2 refresh tokens) ADAL will do so automatically. The cache is fully queryable and can be disabled or substituted with your own implementation, but if you don’t need either you don’t even need to know it’s there: AccessToken will use it transparently.
ADAL.NET is available on Nuget here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory/
If you aren't using ADAL.NET, provide more info, such as:
What library you are using
What is ACS on top of, AD FS or Azure Active Directory
We use ACS + ADAL and there seems to be no clever way to refresh the token. Even if the ExpiresOn Time on the Token inside the Cache is due the AcquireToken always returns the stale cached token. We cache the token ourself, so this code is only invoked when the ExpiresOn is due.
I ended up with this dirty hack:
var authContext = new AuthenticationContext(ServiceInfo.AcsUrl);
if (authContext.TokenCacheStore.Count > 0)
{
authContext.TokenCacheStore.Remove(authContext.TokenCacheStore.First());
}
result = authContext.AcquireToken(acsRealm, allProviders.First());
Referring to this old april 2009 thread at twitter-dev; I am currently extracting the twitterid from the access token. The thread says that twitter will soon move to provide the twitterid & screenname to the callback url directly but as of today, that is still not the case. Are you still extracting the twitterid from the access token ? Is there another more future-proof way to get the twitterid/screenname given that you have the access token ?
Once you have access token, why not call verify credentials method which would give you the user's detailed information?
