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. PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

# 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

$jsonToken = New-Object Chilkat.JsonObject
$success = $jsonToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/mercadolibre.json")
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $("Failed to load mercadolibre.json")
    exit
}

# The access token JSON looks like this:

# {
#   "access_token": "APP_USR-8133606632685744-060115-93e1fd8b5e767c51c238df347bd0b288-577628017",
#   "token_type": "bearer",
#   "expires_in": 21600,
