Token Expiration & Refresh

Your access token is valid for approximately 60 days. When it expires, you’ll see connection errors during scanning.

To refresh your token:

  1. Your Client ID e Client Secret never expire — you don’t need new ones
  2. Simply click the Validate button again — it automatically generates a fresh token
  3. That’s it! The new token is saved and ready to use
If you ever click “New Secret” on the Twitch console, your old secret is permanently invalidated. You’ll need to paste the new secret here and validate again. Only do this if your secret is compromised.
Pro Tip: IGDB has excellent data for newer games and includes detailed storylines, screenshots, and videos!
