Users need access tokens to invoke APIs subscribed under an application. Access tokens are passed in the HTTP header when invoking APIs. The API Cloud provides a Token API that you can use to generate and renew user and application access tokens. The response of the Token API is a JSON message. You extract the token from the JSON and pass it with an HTTP Authorization header to access the API.

...

After an access token is generated, sometimes you might have to refresh or renew the old token due to expiration or security concerns. This can be done by issuing a REST call to the Token API through a REST client like cURL, with the following parameters.

• The Token API URL is https://gateway.api.cloud.wso2.com:8243/token.
• payload - "grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token=<retoken>&scope=PRODUCTION". Replace the <retoken> value with the refresh token generated in the previous section.
• headers - Authorization :Basic <base64 encoded string>, Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Replace <base64 encoded string> as appropriate.          

...

curl -k -d "grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token=<retoken>&scope=PRODUCTION" -H "Authorization: Basic SVpzSWk2SERiQjVlOFZLZFpBblVpX2ZaM2Y4YTpHbTBiSjZvV1Y4ZkM1T1FMTGxDNmpzbEFDVzhh, Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" https://localhostgateway.api.cloud.wso2.com:8243/token

The REST message will grant a renewed token.

...

After issuing an access token, a user or an admin can revoke it in case of theft or a security violation. You can do this by calling the Revoke API using a REST Client. The Revoke API's endpoint URL is https://gateway.api.cloud.wso2.com:8243/revoke. The parameters required to invoke this API are as follows:

...

For example, curl -k -d "token=<ACCESS_TOKEN_TO_BE_REVOKED>" -H "Authorization: Basic Base64Encoded(Consumer key:consumer secret)"   https://gateway.api.cloud.wso2.com:8243/revoke.
