04/21/2023, 3:39 PMThat is just to be used at sign up though right?
Jrapp
04/21/2023, 3:40 PMIm wondering how I can retrieve it at any point an authenticated user makes a request to the backend
r
rp_st
04/21/2023, 3:46 PMYou could add it to the session’s access token payload

04/21/2023, 3:47 PMđź‘Ť This would also have to happen when the access token refreshes right? Is there a middleware that this logic could live?
r

rp_st
04/21/2023, 3:48 PMIf you want to refresh the provider’s access token, then you can do that by saving the refresh token of the provider as well, and then overriding the refresh function in the session recipe to use the refresh token.

Jrapp
04/21/2023, 3:50 PMohhh okay so it sounds like SuperTokens wont handle refreshing the providers accessToken?
r
rp_st
04/21/2023, 3:50 PMCorrect.
rp_st
04/21/2023, 3:50 PMBut you can do the refreshing yourself as mentioned above
j
Jrapp
04/21/2023, 3:51 PMOkay, any useful docs / guides I can follow for this? The refreshing seems straightforward, Im more curious about the session.mergeIntoAccessTokenPayload function

j
Jrapp
04/21/2023, 5:37 PMIs there a way to update that payload outside of that function? If the accessToken needs to get refreshed I'll have to update the payload of the session with the new access token
