Step 4: Generate Access Token From Refresh Token

Access tokens have limited validity, typically expiring within one hour. While valid, the access_token offers unlimited usage. Once it expires, your application needs to use the refresh_token to request a new one.

Use the following POST request with the specified parameters to obtain a new access_token :
