Hi I have created a Python script that uses the Rest API to pull data from a selection of BAQs. All works fine on the day it is created but the next day it stops as the Bearer token has changed. Do I need to get a new Bearer token each day? ---

I don’t think that link will help but I think @josecgomez has some code on here somewhere for the epicor token stuff. (if needed) As for the bearer tokens, yes they expire, I don’t know the details. Now that I think about it, the link to my thread may help at least in concept, for storing a bearer token, and just refresh it as needed. I dunno. ---

Ya that was the part I remembered from yours. I thought @josecgomez had a post about requesting one through REST, but I couldn’t find it ☹ ---

This was the closest I could find > [@Azure AD Authentication (REST via JavaScript / Angular)](https://www.epiusers.help/t/azure-ad-authentication-rest-via-javascript-angular/78431): > > We use Azure AD Authentication currently for our Epicor Implementation works great, we are working on a web portal and naturally we wanted to use the same authentication method. Epicor provides some examples in their help on how to do this using azure-activedirectory-library-for-js Which works… (kinda) see this library is pretty old and has been deprecated (twice now) Ultimately being replaced with [GitHub - AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-js: Microsoft Authentication …](https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-js) ---

Bearer tokens expire usually with a couple of hours if you want to see what the expiration time is paste it into [jwt.io](http://jwt.io) and it will tell you This is normal security and you must provide a renewal mechanism. If your app is not going to be constantly up and active you’ll have to either schedule the renewal or simply get a new one right before you make the call if the last one expired. ---

Thanks everyone. I found the Ice.LIB.TokenServiceSvc which lets me check and request a new token. ---

I am trying to use TokenService to get a bearer token, at the moment just using Postman to test I just use a Get on `https://api/v2/odata/OFB/Ice.Lib.TokenServiceSvc` but this is all I receive in the response ![image](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/6/5/6575e66a4427350aa5e0134b78a89b9c83d15da2.png) I am doing this call with Basic Auth Can you explain how you are using TokenService ? thanks ---

I am working on a similar issue using Single Sign On. What would it take to make this code work? I don’t want to have to provide credentials since it is SSO. Also, I am working in VBA.
