How can I check if my access token is valid?

Access tokens are valid for 24 hours. You can view the information contained in an access token, including its expiry time, at https://jwt.io/. Your application can also base64 decode the access token to view this information.

If one of your applications sends a request to the Nexar API with a missing, invalid or expired token, a GraphQL response like the following will be returned:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Token validation failed. Please provide a valid access token.",
      "locations": "...",
      "path": "...",
      "extensions": {
        "code": "AuthInvalidToken",
        "remote": "...",
        "schemaName": "..."
      }
    }
  ],
  "extensions": {
    "requestId": "..."
  }
}

If the token has expired, the AuthExpiredToken error code is returned and your application should request a new access token. If the token is missing or invalid, the AuthInvalidToken error code is returned, which may mean your application is using the token incorrectly.
