The refresh_token
is only provided on the first authorization from the user. Subsequent authorizations, such as the kind you make while testing an OAuth2 integration, will not return the refresh_token
again. :)
- Go to your account security settings: https://www.google.com/settings/u/1/security.
- Click the edit button next to "Authorizing applications and sites".
- Then click "Revoke Access" next to your app.
- The next OAuth2 request you make will return a
refresh_token
.
Alternatively, you can add the query parameter approval_prompt=force
to the OAuth redirect (see Google‘s OAuth 2.0 for Web Server Applications page).
This will prompt the user to authorize the application again and will always return a refresh_token
.
