My Question or Issue

Hey guys, anyone knows, why I dont get a new refresh token if I refresh a token?
The example answer in the docs is:

{

access_token: 'BQBLuPRYBQ...BP8stIv5xr-Iwaf4l8eg',

token_type: 'Bearer',

expires_in: 3600,

refresh_token: 'AQAQfyEFmJJuCvAFh...cG_m-2KTgNDaDMQqjrOa3',

scope: 'user-read-email user-read-private'

}

But the answer I get is just:
{
access_token: 'TOKEN',
token_type: 'Bearer',
expires_in: 3600,
scope: 'user-modify-playback-state user-read-playback-state user-read-currently-playing'
}

Here is my Code:

async function RefreshSpoToken() {

const TOKENendpoint = 'https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token';

axios.post(TOKENendpoint, null, {

    params: {

        grant_type: 'refresh_token',

        refresh_token: `${SpotifyRefreshToken}`

    },

  headers: {

    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',

    Authorization: `Basic ${authString}`

  },

})

  .then(response => {

    console.log(response.data);

    const NewaccessToken = response.data.access_token;

    const NewRefreshToken = response.data.refresh_token

    const filePath = path.join(__dirname, '.env');

    fs.readFile(filePath, 'utf8', (err, data) => {

        if (err) {

            console.error('Fehler beim lesen der Datei:', err);

            return;

        }

        let lines = data.split('\n')

        let changed = false;

        for (let i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) {

            if (lines[i].includes('SPOTIFYTOKEN')) {

                lines[i] = `SPOTIFYTOKEN=${NewaccessToken}`

                changed = true;

                break;

            }

        }

        if (!changed) {

            console.error('Die Zeile wurde nicht gefunden!');

            return;

        }

        const updatedContent = lines.join('\n')

        fs.writeFile(filePath, updatedContent, 'utf-8', (err) => {

            if (err) {

                console.error('Fehler beim finden der Datei:', err);

                return;

            }

            console.log('Die .env Datei wurde erfolgreich geändert!')

            let token = NewaccessToken

        });

    });

    fs.readFile(filePath, 'utf8', (err, data) => {

        if (err) {

            console.error('Fehler beim lesen der Datei:', err);

            return;

        }

        let lines = data.split('\n')

        let changed = false;

        for (let i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) {

            if (lines[i].includes('SPOTIFYREFRESHTOKEN')) {

                lines[i] = `SPOTIFYREFRESHTOKEN=${NewRefreshToken}`

                changed = true;

                break;

            }

        }

        if (!changed) {

            console.error('Die Zeile wurde nicht gefunden!');

            return;

        }

        const updatedContent = lines.join('\n')

        fs.writeFile(filePath, updatedContent, 'utf-8', (err) => {

            if (err) {

                console.error('Fehler beim finden der Datei:', err);

                return;

            }

            console.log('Die .env Datei wurde erfolgreich geändert!')

            let SpotifyRefreshToken = NewRefreshToken

        });

    });

  })

  .catch(error => {

    console.log('Fehler beim erneuern des Tokens! Fügen , error in Line 697 hinzu, für mehr Details!', error);

  });

};

Thankful for every help! 🙂

You can keep using the old refresh token until you get a new one. If you don't get a new one, the old one isn't expired yet. In my opinion, this should be (better) documented.

Oh wow, thank you again. Yeah, I've the same opinion like you in this sitioation. If smomeone never worked with that before it is kinda weird but thank you again^^
