Token Expiry

Demandbase access tokens have a lifespan of 28800 seconds (8 hours)

You will need to generate a new token using this same flow once the token is expired

Best Practices

Store the token in memory or a secure cache after generating it.
Re-use the same token for all API calls until it is close to expiring.
Regenerate a new token only when:
- You receive a HTTP 401 error. (403 indicates invalid permissions, not an invalid token)
- You are within 15 minutes of expiry.

What NOT To Do

Do not generate a new token before every API request.
Don’t create multiple tokens in short intervals — this increases overhead and might trigger abuse protection.
