Example Response
What Causes the HubSpot expired OAuth token error?
This HubSpot [.inline-code-highlight]The OAuth token used to make this call expired X minutes ago[.inline-code-highlight] error happens when an expired Hubspot OAuth access token is used to make an API call. The current time-to-live for Hubspot access tokens is only 30 minutes, meaning that any requests made to the HubSpot API 30 minutes after the access token is generated will run into this error.
Resolution
When you make a request for Hubspot OAuth tokens with [.inline-code-highlight]https://api.hubapi.com/oauth/v1/token[.inline-code-highlight], save the [.inline-code-highlight]access_token[.inline-code-highlight], [.inline-code-highlight]refresh_token[.inline-code-highlight], and [.inline-code-highlight]expires_in[.inline-code-highlight] parameters from the response. Also, save the timestamp of when you received the response.
Before making an API call, make sure that the HubSpot access token is valid by checking if the current timestamp < timestamp + [.inline-code-highlight]expires_in[.inline-code-highlight].
If the current timestamp is greater, request a new access token with the refresh token you got previously.
