Requesting a new refresh token - documentation error #848

Closed gbs-matt closed 3 years ago

gbs-matt commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug The Request a new token section in the documentation describes how the refresh token expires after 18 months. It mentions the following:

If the user's refresh_token has expired, calls from your application to our token endpoint will return a response with an HTTP status code of 400 (Bad Request) and an error code of invalid_request.

The code returned in this scenario is actually invalid_grant, This matches the Refresh Token is invalid error scenario in the table just above that section.

I'd been wondering why our users couldn't figure out that they needed to re-authorise. Turns out I was checking for invalid_request.
