Socket Exhaustion and the MYOB .NET SDK

I am developing our inhouse application to go online using the MYOB .NET SDK to go live for STP2 in Jan   I have looked at the .NET SDK Code from GitHub and for the API calls it uses a HttpWebReque...

Hi Mike_James 

 

you've pointed me to the apisupport page? not sure what you are referring to by that link..? Iahave seen it and read it.. are  you referring to the refresh token timout How long do access tokens & refresh tokens last? – Support for the MYOB family of SME product APIs

 

I know it is a week but not really the same as 

Client Credentials Flow (auth0.com)

or 

RFC 6749: The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework (rfc-editor.org)

 

which are really what I am hoping for...

 

apologies if I have misunderstood...

    Hi kjm , my response was too brief, but knowing that we (in our app) authorise with user interaction once, and thereafter by storing the refresh token to get a new access token when required, without user interaction, I thought the notes about that process from MYOB would assist you. I note that the refresh token lasts a week, down from a year originally.

     

    I've been away from my office most of the last week, so my apologies in turn if this is not helpful.

      I appreciate any help/reply...certainly no need to apologise. :)

       

      I wasnt aware the refresh token was for a week until I followed your link and did a search..lol

       

      It would be great if MYOB could implement either the spec for client credentials flow as per Oauth2 or extend the refresh token to a month perhaps?

       

      Any idea if the MYOB API developers read these forums? would be good to know what the plans are

        Hi kjm 

         

        I was under the impression - and this has been in place since the beginning - that the Access Token lasts 20 minutes - but each time you get an Access Token it updates the Refresh Token for another 7 days.

         

        I have always worked on these parameters and my own VB code assumes this and always works that way.

         

        Correct me if I am wrong but that has been the situation since I started writing and using by own code for at least 2 years.

         

        My original code was written upto 2 years ago but I refreshed the code and it uses, and still uses 7 day expiry.
