Full code example

https://github.com/lens-protocol/api-examples/blob/master/src/authentication/refresh.ts

Your accessToken expires every 30 minutes this means you have to refresh it with the refreshToken to get a new access token. It is up to your client to make sure that you refresh it before it expires.

hint: use https://jwt.io/ to decode your JWT token, when you do in the payload section you will see some claims showing. exp is the unix timestamp for when the token will expiry.
