OAuth token refresh
# workers-helpj

04/17/2023, 9:32 AMI'm trying to create an integration with our CRM, however the application doesn't allow generating a set api key I can continue using, it requires users to log in using OAuth2. I'm using the service to process incoming orders sent to a webhook, and automatically enter them into the system. This means there's a highly irregular and unpredictable input.
My question is, how do I keep refreshing the token, to make sure it doesn't expire (and require user interaction)?
Jori

04/17/2023, 9:40 AMYou can have a CRON job that runs every eg. 12 hours that refreshes the token, so you know it's always valid, or you can use DOs and alarms

04/17/2023, 9:41 AMIf you go for the first option, storing the token in KV is probably going to be OK, since even if it takes 1 minute before the new value gets written, it'll still be fine. Unless the old token gets invalidated? In that case you will need to use a consistent storage like DOs

Jori
04/17/2023, 9:46 AMI'll stick with a cron job then
Jori
04/17/2023, 11:04 AMThe old token does get invalidated when a new one is generated, I just confirmed that, but that's just fine
Jori
04/17/2023, 11:04 AMIn case an order comes in during the time it takes to update KV, I just send out an email to manually add the order
Jori
04/17/2023, 11:04 AMThat's not a problem
Jori
04/17/2023, 11:05 AMI'll set the cron to refresh at night to further prevent this
Jori
04/17/2023, 11:10 AMIs it possible to test a cron trigger?
Jori
04/17/2023, 11:10 AMI wanna run the cron job manually, if possible

04/17/2023, 11:52 AMNot on a deployed worker, but you can test it using the
--test-scheduledj
Jori
04/17/2023, 12:10 PMAlright
Jori
04/18/2023, 8:41 AMIs it possible to combine a cron and a web handler?
Jori
04/18/2023, 8:41 AMSo that I can have both in the same worker, instead of running 2 workers separately
z
zegevlier
04/18/2023, 8:49 AMYup, absolutely!
zegevlier
04/18/2023, 8:50 AMYou can set up multiple triggers for the same worker
