How can I increase the lifetime of a user access token?

So for example, in JavaScript, I will just need to make an axios (or ajax) request with the refresh token to get my user access token still available for 4 hours more ?

Correct, I tend to periodically (like 15 minutes) check the token’s expirartion left using the validation endpoint and if it’s got less than 30 minutes left on it refresh it then

This will return a new access and refresh token.

For my application, I will need to read and send chat messages.

To read/write chat the token only needs to be valid when the “bot”/script starts.
When the token expires the bot/script is not disconnected from chat, so no refresh needed

@DuckenScott

And also I would like to listen to Events on my stream (user follow, subscriptions, raid, etc). This part is managed by the Websocket connexion right ?

Yeah, and again, the token only needs to be valid when you create the subscriptions, so no refresh needed

@DuckenScott

I just need to put all the informations that I need and then event if the token expires, the websocket will still work ?

Correct. The subscriptions will stay alive until you F5 page/restart the application.

@DuckenScott

But if I restart my application and my Websocket connexion, I will have to get a non expired token right ?

Correct.
