Re: Oauth2 refresh token question - what happens when the refresh token expires?

May I know what is the " auth_code" here. how can I get it?

authorize_url = auth_flow.start()
print("1. Go to: " + authorize_url)
print("2. Click \"Allow\" (you might have to log in first).")
print("3. Copy the authorization code.")
auth_code = input("Enter the authorization code here: ").strip()

try:
oauth_result = auth_flow.finish(auth_code)
except Exception as e:
print('Error: %s' % (e,))
exit(1)

When you run the script, a link is provided to you via the console, which you have to paste into a browser window. Once you go to the link, a code is provided. That code is the auth_code, which has to be pasted into the console to finish the authentication sequence.

That's correct, the "auth_code" variable there should contain the "authorization code", which is a single-use code from the app authorization page that the app then exchanges for an access token and optional refresh token, by calling /oauth2/token. I recommend reading the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation for more information.
