Please when using Postman, exercise caution when entering your client ID and client secret. Make sure to clear any sensitive information from the request history or environment variables in Postman after use. Additionally, consider using Postman's built-in authorization mechanisms, such as the "Basic Auth" feature, and securely manage your Postman environment settings to prevent accidental exposure of your credentials. |

Please be cautious and ensure the confidentiality of your client ID and client secret. Treat these credentials as sensitive information and avoid sharing them publicly or storing them in insecure locations. If possible, consider using environment variables or secure storage mechanisms to store and retrieve these credentials securely. |

Handling Access Token Expiration in the Client Application
Info |
---|
Regarding access token management, it's important to be aware that the access token comes with a limited lifespan and will eventually expire. To ensure uninterrupted access, your client application must proactively handle the expiration of the access token. This can be achieved by implementing a robust mechanism that automatically obtains a new access token when the current one nears expiration |
