title: linkedin access token oauth_expires_in VS 60 days expiration
body: <p><a href="http://developer.linkedin.com/documents/authentication" rel="nofollow">http://developer.linkedin.com/documents/authentication</a> (section: Refreshing Access Tokens)</p>
  
  <p>The paragraph says</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>LinkedIn access token can be refreshed in 60 days time</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>on the other hand it also says that client application can keep track of token creation date and compare it with <code>oauth_expires_in value</code> (in seconds) and refresh token if required.</p>
  
  <p>However, I get only <code>oauth_expires_in=599</code> (secs) when I call request token endpoint.</p>
  
  <p>When I retrieve request token:
  <code>oauth_token=xxxxx&amp;oauth_token_secret=xxxxx&amp;oauth_callback_confirmed=true&amp;xoauth_request_auth_url=https://api.linkedin.com/uas/oauth/authorize&amp;</code>, here's a response that I get: <code>oauth_expires_in=599</code></p>
  
  <p>I do not receive such parameter in response to access token request:
  <code>https[://]www[.]linkedin[.]com/uas/oauth/authorize/submit?oauth_token=xxx&amp;oauth_verifier=xxx</code></p>
  
  <p>Can someone please explain this?</p>
  
  <p>P.S.: Altered urls with [] because it didnt allow me to post more than 2 urls due to lack of reputation.</p>
  
  <p>TIA.</p>
