Hi there, I implemented the OAuth flow that’s described in the docs (without any library, just using plain python). It’s working correctly. Well, at least for a while. After some time (I’d guess a day) all the requests start throwing 401 errors. I read about the difference between offline and onl…

“App developers should make sure to handle such a response gracefully. After an access token has expired, Shopify returns a 401 Unauthorized response code.” https://shopify.dev/apps/auth/oauth/access-modes Make sure the access token you’re trying to use isn’t expired.

Also, I’m not sure how you can do it in python but, this is how you can set online access mode in js const app = express(); app.set("use-online-tokens", USE_ONLINE_TOKENS); https://github.com/Shopify/shopify-app-template-node/blob/a572a919cf26b1e913fe176e6605191c5a8bd024/server/index.js#L11

@Rechunk I have been working on shopify apps for 2+ years never once did I encounter this issue once the offline token is generated it never expires unless the app is uninstalled.

@hamzasgd The 401 happens with the following path: /admin/api/2022-04/orders.json?status=any&limit=5 As I said, it works just fine for the first day, but stops thereafter. The API token that’s passed is still the same. Could it maybe have anything to do with the fact that I’m only testing it on a …

@Rechunk Yes it does not have anything to do with the development shop

@hamzasgd I added ‘accessMode’ in the json payload as per your description, just underneath the ‘code’ key. Unfortunately, haven’t found anything in the docs about this, just describing the difference between access modes, but not how they are actually requested…
