Ability to refresh API token?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Does Marketo have something similar ot a Access Token Refresh URL? I'm trying to access your API, however, my token expires, and I want a way to automaticaly update my token when it does so.

Thanks!

You would neee to poll the auth endpoint to automatically generate auth tokens:

Can you please point me to the JAVA code to get the security token. The example in the link above has only the RUBY code.

@Preeti, I just added Java sample code to get the security token on this documentation page.

Is there a way to speicifiy (customize) the expiration time for the token?

Unfortunately not. The token expires every hour.

Thank you very much for the Java example. IT helped me move forward.

I customized it a little bit to get the token, as I was always getting a 406 error.
