Client regularly stops responding to requests #2

I'm building a discord bot which periodically accesses Pixiv using this API and it works great... for a few hours. Every time we restart the bot, it logs in and locates images just fine, but then it mysteriously stops working.

I suspect this is because we require a new token, but it's not clear how to obtain one when the old token expires. We're currently logging in using a username and password.

Would you be able to shed any light on this matter? I've been looking for documentation on the Pixiv API but it's rather sparse.

You can use api.login () to refresh the token for a period of time (such as two hours) after login.

async with PixivClient() as client:
    aapi = AppPixivAPI(client=client)
    await aapi.login(username, password)
    ...
    await aapi.login() # to refresh token

or use a function to complete this operation regularly

async def TokenRefresh(api):
    while True:
        await api.login()
        await asycnio.sleep(7200)

Oh, I see. I hadn't realized it was that simple. Thanks a bunch!
