​
Overview

Refresh an existing JWT token to obtain a new one without re-authenticating with credentials. Tokens can be refreshed up to 5 minutes after expiry.

​
When to Refresh

  • Token is about to expire (less than 5 minutes remaining)
  • Token just expired (within 5-minute grace period)
  • You want to extend an active session
If your token expired more than 5 minutes ago, you must obtain a new token using the Generate Token endpoint.

​
Token Refresh Strategy

Implement automatic token refresh in your application: 
class TokenManager {
  constructor(appId, secretKey) {
    this.appId = appId;
    this.secretKey = secretKey;
    this.token = null;
    this.expiresAt = null;
  }

  async getToken() {
    if (!this.token || this.isExpiringSoon()) {
      await this.refreshOrAuthenticate();
    }
    return this.token;
  }

  isExpiringSoon() {
    if (!this.expiresAt) return true;
    const fiveMinutes = 5 * 60 * 1000;
    return (new Date(this.expiresAt) - new Date()) < fiveMinutes;
  }

  async refreshOrAuthenticate() {
    if (this.token && this.canRefresh()) {
      try {
        const res = await fetch('https://api.fyatu.com/api/v3/auth/refresh', {
          method: 'POST',
          headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${this.token}` }
        });
        const data = await res.json();
        if (data.success) {
          this.token = data.data.accessToken;
          this.expiresAt = data.data.expiresAt;
          return;
        }
      } catch (e) { /* Fall through to authenticate */ }
    }
    // Get fresh token
    const res = await fetch('https://api.fyatu.com/api/v3/auth/token', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        appId: this.appId,
        secretKey: this.secretKey,
        grantType: 'client_credentials'
      })
    });
    const data = await res.json();
    if (data.success) {
      this.token = data.data.accessToken;
      this.expiresAt = data.data.expiresAt;
    }
  }
}
