Thanks for tuning in everyone! Here are the Q&A from the session, the recording will be up on developer.webex.com/webinars soon!

• "do we need to add redirect url mandatorily??"
  • Yes. See https://developer.webex.com/docs/integrations for more.
• What did you copy for the redirect URI? It flashed by took quickly.
  
  • https://github.com/WebexSamples/webex-flask-oauth-example/blob/main/oauth.py#L25
• Does refresh token get refreshed when you make the refresh token api call? In other words, is another OAuth flow required every 90 days when refresh token expire?
  • Yes, you will get a new updated refresh token. If the refresh token has expired you will need to do a full OAuth flow
• What would be a better practice to manage credentials (Client ID, Secret ID) than hardcoding it?
  • Set the values in the system's ENV variables
• If I add multiple redirect url in the integration(for local development and for production), do I just change the redirect url in the request body of the get token api call?
  • Yes, as long as it matches a redirect url you've added to the integration, it will be valid
