API v2 access token validity

sthigale

I've 3 questions here:

1. Does authentication token generated for an app have expiry?

2. I've a DropBox app and have authentication token generated for my own account using website. Do I need to care for v1 API deprecation?

3. Does clicking on "Generate access token" invaidate the previously generated token?

Same situation:
I have an app with an access token v1 that now works with api v1.
Now I must migrate to v2 and I'd like to generate the access token v2 from my own account.
than I need time to write and test my new v2 code. In this period can access token v1 and v2 works together? In this period can my v1 and v2 code works together?
After the testing period I will stop my v1 code.

@sthigale :

1. Dropbox API access tokens don't expire, but they can be revoked by the user or app at any time.

2. API v1 and API v2 both support OAuth 2 access tokens. The access token itself doesn't determine which API you are using. If you are using API v1, you will need to migrate to API v2.

3. No, generating a new access token does not invalidate previous ones.

@Grego A.

You can call both API v1 and API v2 at the same time. They don't interfere with each other.
