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. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = 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

    let jsonToken = CkoJsonObject()!
    success = jsonToken.loadFile(path: "qa_data/tokens/mercadolibre.json")
    if success != true {
        print("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"
    // }

    let oauth2 = CkoOAuth2()!

    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.string(of: "refresh_token")

    // Send the HTTP POST to refresh the access token..
    success = oauth2.refreshAccessToken()
    if success != true {
        print("\(oauth2.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("New access token: \(oauth2.accessToken!)")
    print("New refresh token: \(oauth2.refreshToken!)")

    // Update the JSON with the new tokens.
    jsonToken.updateString(jsonPath: "access_token", value: oauth2.accessToken)
    jsonToken.updateString(jsonPath: "refresh_token", value: oauth2.refreshToken)

    // Save the new JSON access token response to a file.
    let sbJson = CkoStringBuilder()!
    jsonToken.emitCompact = false
    jsonToken.emitSb(sb: sbJson)
    sbJson.writeFile(path: "qa_data/tokens/mercadolibre.json", charset: "utf-8", emitBom: false)

    print("OAuth2 authorization granted!")
    print("New Access Token = \(oauth2.accessToken!)")
