MercadoLibre Refresh OAuth2 Access Token

See more MercadoLibre Examples

Demonstrates how to refresh a MercadoLibre OAuth2 access token. The refresh does not require user interaction via a web browser. If an access token expires (typically with a 401 response code), a new access token can be automatically obtained by using the code in this example.
