Refresh a Dynamics CRM OAuth2 Access Token

See more OAuth2 Examples

Demonstrates how to refresh an expiring Dynamics CRM access token using the refresh token. endpoint.

(If a REST API call fails with a 401 unauthorized error, an application can auto-recover by refreshing the access token, and then re-send the request using the new token.)
