No expires_in field in response while getting access token. Attempt 2

API
1

Hi,

The same question was asked a year ago with no answer( No expires_in field in response while getting access token). But it was also before the new API has settled down, so maybe now the situation is more clear.

The documentation says:

New OAuth2 access tokens have expirations. Token-expiration periods vary in length, based on how the token was acquired. Tokens return an expires_in field indicating how long the token should last.

However, in response to this request:

curl -X POST https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token?client_id=<CLIENT-ID>&client_secret=<CLIENT-SECRET>&code=<CODE>&grant_type=authorization_code&redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000/bla

I’m getting

{
  "access_token":<TOKEN>,
  "refresh_token":<REFRESH-TOKEN>,
  "scope":["user:read:email"],
  "token_type":"bearer"
}

I wouldn’t care about this, but the OAuth lib in Ruby only exposes a refresh token if the expires_in is present, so all I get is a short-lived access token.
