Hey everyone! I’ve been tinkering with the Notion API for a project, and I’m a bit confused about the access tokens. Does anyone know how long they stay valid? I’ve looked through the docs but couldn’t find any clear info on this.
I’m wondering if these tokens have an expiration date or if they’re good forever. It would be super helpful to know for planning my app’s auth flow. If they do expire, do we need to refresh them somehow?
Also, has anyone had experience with long-term use of these tokens? Any tips or gotchas I should watch out for?
I’ve been working with the Notion API for a while now, and I can share some insights about the access tokens. From my experience, the tokens don’t have a set expiration date. They’re designed to be long-lasting, which is convenient for ongoing integrations.
However, it’s worth noting that Notion can revoke tokens for security reasons. I’ve had this happen once when there was suspicious activity on my account. It’s rare, but it can occur.
For best practices, I’d recommend implementing a system to handle token refreshes, just in case. Also, store the tokens securely and use HTTPS for all API calls.
One thing I’ve learned the hard way: be cautious with rate limits. Notion has them, and if you’re not careful, you might hit them unexpectedly. It’s a good idea to implement some form of backoff strategy in your code to handle this gracefully.
ive been using notion api for a few months now and from what i know, the tokens dont expire. theyre pretty much good indefinitely unless notion decides to revoke em for some reason.
one thing to watch out for tho is rate limits. i hit those a couple times when i wasnt paying attention. just something to keep in mind when ur building ur app
As someone who’s been deeply involved with Notion API integrations, I can confirm that the access tokens don’t have a predetermined expiration date. They’re designed for long-term use, which is quite convenient for ongoing projects.
However, it’s crucial to implement proper security measures. While tokens don’t expire automatically, Notion reserves the right to revoke them if they detect any security concerns. I’ve seen this happen in rare cases.
One important tip: always use secure storage for your tokens and implement HTTPS for all API interactions. Additionally, be mindful of rate limits to avoid unexpected issues during heavy usage periods.
Lastly, while refreshing isn’t typically necessary, it’s wise to have a contingency plan in place for token renewal, just in case Notion’s policies change in the future.
