About the expiration of OAuth2

[c-rei]

Dear Sir: I have a question about the expiration of OAuth2. I make a authorization with Traditional 3-Legged OAuth2 just like your example, I run a long processing over one hour after authorized, so I want to known do I must refresh my access token in every hour when I continue to run a long processing? And how can I to check the expiration of my access token?

Thanks your any response.

@c-rei If you are simply trying to create a script making API calls, I recommend using JWT authentication. The SDK will automatically refresh the token. Information on how to setup your app to use JWT can be found here. Once that is done, you have the Python SDK use JWT by following the instructions here.
