    Hello. The rate at which the API key needs to be refreshed is not related to Swagger but rather the way the provider has built their API. You'd have to check with them if they can provide you with an easier solution.

    thank you both for replying, I have spoken with our supplier that owns the api and he will adjust the validity period of the tokens.

    As Ron said, this is not a swagger issue but a time out placed on the Bearer token by the API provider.

    That said, every Bearer authentication return 2 things: the actually token and also a renewable key with the time out value (the default is 3600 seconds)

    So try to keep both and after the Token expires, you can call with the key to renew the access token and keep going

     

    Hope that helps

    Cheers
