UiPath Data Service APIs - Part 2 | Refresh Tokens
In this video we'll pick up from where we left off in Part 1 of this video series on the Basics of UiPath Data Service APIs.
The video will cover another set of the following fundamental concepts:
1. Limitations of fetching a one time API Access token using an OAuth 2 request
2. Use the Postman API client to make an OAuth authorization call to request for a Refresh token instead of a one time API token
3. Use the refresh token in a simpler HTTP POST request (unlike an elaborate OAuth request) to get new Access token and Refresh token
4. Demonstrate how a sustained Request/Response cycle could be maintained between an API client and the Data Service API end point

MINOR POST PUBLISH UPDATE:
************************************
Any time between 13:08 and 13:47 of the video, make sure to copy the refresh_token and assign it to environment variable ds_REFRESH_TOKEN . Similarly, assign the very long access token to the ds_ACCESS_TOKEN variable. Apologies for not having included that snippet in the track.
NOTE:
Basic familiarity with UiPath Data Service is required for this video
