# Renew Access Token

GET https://live.tradovateapi.com/v1/auth/renewaccesstoken

### Request a renewal for an existing access token.

Extends the current session without creating a new one. Using this function in a long-running application will ensure that you don't start a new session unless it is 100% necessary. This will prevent your application from kicking itself or dropping dependent services that share an Access Token. See the [`/auth/accessTokenRequest`](#operation/accessTokenRequest) operation for more details.

```js

const { accessToken, expirationTime } = await fetch(TRADOVATELIVE+'/auth/accessTokenRequest', {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Accept': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(myCredentials) //see auth/accessTokenRequest for more info on the request body
}).then(res => res.json());

sessionStorage.setItem(CURRENT_TOKEN_KEY, accessToken);
sessionStorage.setItem(TOKEN_EXPIRATION_KEY, expirationTime);

//in another file or function, keep the connection alive
//check every 2 mins using useInterval (WARNING on a browser
//this fn will be throttled. Consider using a WebWorker to maintain
//a connection even when tabbed away.)
setInterval(() => {
    const expiration = sessionStorage.getItem(TOKEN_EXPIRATION_KEY);
    const now = new Date().getTime();
    const exp = new Date(expiration).getTime();
    //if expiration is within 15 mins, renew
    if(exp - now < 15 * 60000) {
        const currentToken = sessionStorage.getItem(CURRENT_TOKEN_KEY);
        const renewal = await fetch(TRADOVATELIVE+'/auth/renewAccessToken', {
            method: 'GET',
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                'Accept': 'application/json',
                'Authorization': `Bearer ${currentToken}` //send existing non-expired token
            }
        });
        //set new token and expiration
        sessionStorage.setItem(CURRENT_TOKEN_KEY, renewal.accessToken);
        sessionStorage.setItem(TOKEN_EXPIRATION_KEY, renewal.expirationTime);
    }
}, 120 * 60000)

```
