Access Token 'expires_at'

authenticus

Hi. I have a question related to the personal access token response. As stated in the documentation:
https://graph.openaire.eu/docs/apis/authentication#personal-access-token
the response has the following format:

{
    "access_token": "...",
    "token_type": "Bearer",
    "refresh_token": "...",
    "expires_in": "...",
    "scope": "...",
    "id_token": "..."
}

I executed the request on my app and the value of 'expires_in' is always '3599'. I can't understand this number and also the documentation doesn't explain what it means. Could you please help?
Is it the expiration time/date of the access token or the refresh token?

Best

Dear Sylwia,

Thank you for contacting us and for your interest in our APIs.

Our access tokens have a validity period of one hour. The 'expires_in' field indicates the number of seconds the access token remains valid. 3599 means the token is valid for 3600 seconds accounting for one second already elapsed during the token acquisition request.

Best Regards,

Katerina
