Refresh OAuth 2.0 Access Token

POST https://api.rhythm.cloud/api/public/oauth/token

Use a previously obtained refresh token to generate a new access token.  Access tokens expire after 6 hours, so if you need offline access to data in Rhythm, you'll need to store the refresh token you get when initiating your OAuth integration, and use that to generate a new access token once the initial access token expires. Refresh tokens never expire, but is one time use only. When a new access token is generated, a new refresh token is generated along side, and must be used when this new access token expires.
