# insomnia-plugin-jd297-api-token-auto-refresh
Insomnia plugin that checks for an api token in response and saves it as a template variable.
#### Manual Installation
1. Download "insomnia-plugin-jd297-api-token-auto-refresh-{version}.zip" from [Releases > Assets](https://github.com/JD297/insomnia-plugin-jd297-api-token-auto-refresh/releases)
2. Go to Application > Preferences > Plugins
3. Click "Reveal Plugins Folder"
4. Extract the ZIP file from step 1 to the "plugins" folder
5. Click "Reload Plugins"
#### Manual Configuration
Update your [environment](https://docs.insomnia.rest/insomnia/environment-variables/):
1. Click "Manage Environments"
2. Create a "jd297-api-token-auto-refresh" environment variable with the response key you need:
Default
```json
{
"jd297-api-token-auto-refresh": {
"api_token_response_key": "token"
}
}
```
Example
```json
{
"jd297-api-token-auto-refresh": {
"api_token_response_key": "access_token"
}
}
```
#### Automatic token refresh
Create a request for an auth route. E.g.:
```json
POST http://localhost:8000/api/oauth/token
{
"grant_type": "client_credentials",
"client_id": "...",
"client_secret": "..."
}
```
The Plugin now looks for the "api_token_response_key" from our environment config in the response. If found the plugin
saves the data to a [Template Tag](https://docs.insomnia.rest/insomnia/template-tags).
If the token is not valid any more just send the auth request again and the Template Tag will be refreshed everywhere you used it.
#### Template Tag
Now create a [Bearer Token](https://docs.insomnia.rest/insomnia/authentication#bearer-token) authentication.
In the token field you can pass the Template Tag "jd297ApiTokenAutoRefreshApiToken".
