(VB.NET UWP/WinRT) Google Sheets Refresh an Expired Access Token

Demonstrates how to refresh an expired access token. If a Google Sheets REST API call results in a 401 "unauthorized" response, then it is likely the access token expired. An application should be able to automatically refresh the access token with no user interaction and then re-try the request with the newly obtained access token.

'  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 Google Sheets OAuth2 Access Token

Dim jsonToken As New Chilkat.JsonObject
Dim success As Boolean = jsonToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/googleSheets.json")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine("Failed to load googleSheets.json")
    Exit Sub
End If


'  The access token JSON looks like this:

'  	{
'  	 "access_token": "abac.Ci-ZabcdF37-NUrmSzxbHxTsMbtlN-uPfabcdAQN_2ekzj0s5ofCzRabcdTDMGaa2Q",
'  	 "token_type": "Bearer",
'  	 "expires_in": 3600,
'  	 "refresh_token": "1/lEe5abcdNJ77eOSDBabcdkQGVmDalkwabcdR2Hatbo"
'  	}
' 

Dim oauth2 As New Chilkat.OAuth2

oauth2.TokenEndpoint = "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token"

'  Replace these with actual values.
oauth2.ClientId = "GOOGLE-CLIENT-ID"
oauth2.ClientSecret = "GOOGLE-CLIENT-SECRET"

'  Get the "refresh_token"
oauth2.RefreshToken = jsonToken.StringOf("refresh_token")

'  Send the HTTP POST to refresh the access token..
success = Await oauth2.RefreshAccessTokenAsync()
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(oauth2.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


'  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.
jsonToken.UpdateString("access_token",oauth2.AccessToken)

'  Save the new JSON access token response to a file.
Dim sbJson As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
jsonToken.EmitCompact = False
jsonToken.EmitSb(sbJson)
sbJson.WriteFile("qa_data/tokens/googleSheets.json","utf-8",False)

Debug.WriteLine("OAuth2 authorization granted!")
Debug.WriteLine("New Access Token = " & oauth2.AccessToken)
