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. React Native

import { JsonObject, OAuth2, StringBuilder } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  // It is assumed we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token.
  // This example loads the JSON access token file 
  // saved by this example: Get MercadoLibre OAuth2 Access Token

  const jsonToken = new JsonObject();
  try {
    jsonToken.loadFile('qa_data/tokens/mercadolibre.json');
  } catch {
    console.log('Failed to load mercadolibre.json');
    return;
  }

  // The access token JSON looks like this:

  // {
  //   "access_token": "APP_USR-8133606632685744-060115-93e1fd8b5e767c51c238df347bd0b288-577628017",
  //   "token_type": "bearer",
  //   "expires_in": 21600,
  //   "scope": "offline_access read write",
  //   "user_id": 577625107,
  //   "refresh_token": "TG-5ad522a286f1200006ac4ed1-577625007"
  // }

  const oauth2 = new OAuth2();

  oauth2.tokenEndpoint = 'https://api.mercadolibre.com/oauth/token';

  // Replace these with actual values.
  oauth2.clientId = 'MY_MERCADOLIBRE_APP_ID';
  oauth2.clientSecret = 'MY_MERCADOLIBRE_APP_SECRET';

  // Get the "refresh_token"
  oauth2.refreshToken = jsonToken.stringOf('refresh_token');

  // Send the HTTP POST to refresh the access token..
  try {
    await oauth2.refreshAccessTokenAsync();
  } catch {
    console.log(oauth2.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  console.log(`New access token: ${oauth2.accessToken}`);
  console.log(`New refresh token: ${oauth2.refreshToken}`);

  // Update the JSON with the new tokens.
  jsonToken.updateString('access_token', oauth2.accessToken);
  jsonToken.updateString('refresh_token', oauth2.refreshToken);

  // Save the new JSON access token response to a file.
  const sbJson = new StringBuilder();
  jsonToken.emitCompact = false;
  jsonToken.emitSb(sbJson);
  sbJson.writeFile('qa_data/tokens/mercadolibre.json', 'utf-8', false);

  console.log('OAuth2 authorization granted!');
  console.log(`New Access Token = ${oauth2.accessToken}`);
