Refresh Token

When checking the availability of the access token for a customer’s credit card: 


If the access token is not available, customers need to register themselves to get the access token, as illustrated in the above steps of this journey. 

 

If the token is already available, then the validity of the existing access token is determined. 

 

If the access token has expired, then you can refresh a customer’s access token by calling the Refresh Token API. Subsequent API calls in this journey are dependent on the availability of a valid access token.
