Salesforce OAuth2 Refresh Access Token

See more OAuth2 Examples

Demonstrates how to refresh a Salesforce Access Token.

Note: Use Chilkat v10.1.2 or later for this example.

Rust

// 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 SalesForce OAuth2 Access Token via Authorization Flow

let json_token = chilkat::JsonObject::new();
if json_token.load_file("qa_data/tokens/_salesforce.json").is_err() {
    println!("Failed to load _salesforce.json");
    return;
}

// This is an example of a Salesforce OAuth2 access token to be refreshed:

// {
//   "access_token": "00D41000....uLZBpT6",
//   "refresh_token": "5Aep....25xdGgkrV",
//   "signature": "cjTbSc5DvcKpaMoRTzuQTJLb1tcMw8LEO01flq4aMD4=",
//   "scope": "refresh_token id",
//   "instance_url": "https://d41000000f8a0eak-dev-ed.my.salesforce.com",
//   "id": "https://login.salesforce.com/id/00D41000000F8A0EAK/005410000....xAAE",
//   "token_type": "Bearer",
//   "issued_at": "1738348388166"
// }

let oauth2 = chilkat::OAuth2::new();

oauth2.set_token_endpoint("https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token");

// Replace this with your actual client ID (Consumer Key)
oauth2.set_client_id("CLIENT_ID");

// Note: The client secret is not required because we configured our Connected App
// to not require it for the refresh flow.  See the screenshot below.

// Get the "refresh_token"
oauth2.set_refresh_token(&json_token.string_of("refresh_token").unwrap_or_default());

// Send the HTTP POST to refresh the access token..
if oauth2.refresh_access_token().is_err() {
    println!("{}", oauth2.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// The response contains a new access token, but we must keep
// our existing refresh token for when we need to refresh again in the future.
let _ = json_token.update_string("access_token", &oauth2.access_token());

// Save the new JSON access token response to a file.
let sb_json = chilkat::StringBuilder::new();
json_token.set_emit_compact(false);
let _ = json_token.emit_sb(&sb_json);
let _ = sb_json.write_file("qa_data/tokens/_salesforce.json", "utf-8", false);

println!("OAuth2 authorization granted!");
println!("New Access Token = {}", oauth2.access_token());

// Here's a screenshot of a Salesforce Connected App 
// which does not requires the secret for the authorization or refresh flow.
