My Google OAuth refresh token expires after one hour, even though both my OAuth and Google Ads API applications are verified and approved.

  • Both OAuth and Google Ads API apps are verified and approved.
  • Created a new client_credentials.json file after approval.
  • Using the provided Laravel example for the PHP Google Ads API.
  • Added the developer token with basic access and populated clientId and clientSecret in the google_ads_php.ini file.

For the refresh token i used command ~/go/bin/oauth2l fetch --credentials CLIENT_SECRET.json --scope adwords to obtain a refresh token. And added this token to google_ads_php.ini too.

Despite these steps, I consistently encounter a "token has been expired or revoked" error after 60 minutes.

    This is standard oauth practice access tokens expire after one hour. Its up to the developer to use a refresh token request a new access token when the access token expires.

    $client->fetchAccessTokenWithRefreshToken($client->getRefreshToken());
