Game User Access Token
- Refers to the token obtained through the StoveSDK_GetToken() function from the Client to the PC_SDK (hereafter referred to as the Game User Access Token).
- There are two types of tokens obtained through the StoveSDK_GetToken() function.
- Game User Access Token : An access token that serves as a proof of authorization for security reasons and has a relatively short validity period (6 hours).
- The Game User Access Token has a validity period of 6 hours (21600000ms) and requires reissuance after the expiration time.
API Access Token Introduction
- The issued
API Access Token is used for requests.
- The issued token must be passed in the
authorization header.
- The validity of an
API Access Token is 30 days.
- The validity period can be changed per client_id.
- It is recommended to periodically call the "API Access Token issuance API" to renew the token, or to save "expires_in" and call the issuance API to renew the token before expiration.
- When calling the API Access Token Issuance API, if the validity period of the existing token remains, the existing token is passed, and if less than 30% remains, a new token is issued.
- The same server token can be used on multiple servers, and we expect the API call cycle to be different for each server, so even after issuing a new token, the existing token can be used until the existing validity period.
