Access Token Changes?

Troubleshooting
1

Hey all-

Did I miss something? I’ve been out of the loop for a couple of months, and now the API for dealing with tokens seems to be different… (And thus preventing my apps from working properly…)

So I can still generate a token (and the new ability to add your own expiration info is great) but those newly generated tokens don’t appear to show up in the token list when you call a get on them…

What am I missing? Does the list all tokens API no longer work?

2

What are you using to handle the token checking? Look at the docs for the latest info.

3

I’m using postman to do the post request to generate the new tokens and the same to do the get request to list tokens. I have been reading the docs. First thing I did when stuff stopped working right.

I can make a new token but it never shows in the list.

Working fine for me with Particle-cli:

KENMBP:~ kennethlimcp$ particle token list

It only shows me old tokens nothing I created today or recently

How are you creating tokens? I believe when you create a new token you will be given the access token? You can check it against the list.

KENMBP:~ kennethlimcp$ particle token new

I’m using the post request.

It does return a token, but that token never shows up in the list. It just basically disappears into the void after being created. :smile:

I guess it boils down to I CAN create new tokens, and I can list tokens, but the new tokens never show up in the list. The only tokens showing in the list are ones I created months ago.

Mine showed up as demo-ed above though. So i don’t think there’s an issue. What does particle --version say?

When I create a new token I get:

{
“token_type”: “bearer”,
“access_token”: “*",
“expires_in”: 16539098.091,
“refresh_token”: "”
}

(I removed the token numbers)

You are trying to figure out why a newly created access token is not listed right?

Try using particle-cli and do a particle token list and see if the token is listed there. It’s essentially using the same API endpoint so it should work as expected.
