"from_ref"¶

Construct an access token from a hash reference. The default implementation merely blesses it as an object, defaulting the "create_time" field to the current time.

    my $access_token = $class->from_ref($data);

If you roll your own, be aware that the fields "refresh_token" and "_class" get used for purposes out of this class' control. Any other fields may be used. Please die fatally if you cannot construct an object.

"to_ref"¶

Construct an unblessed data structure to represent the object that can be serialized as JSON. The default implementation just creates a shallow copy and assumes there are no blessed subobjects.

"expires_time"¶

Estimate expiration time. Not always correct, due to transit delays, clock skew, etc.

"expires_in"¶

Estimate the seconds until expiration. Not always correct, due to transit delays, clock skew, etc.

"should_refresh"¶

Boolean saying whether a refresh should be emitted now.

"for_refresh"¶

Returns key/value pairs for $oauth2 (and eventually the service provider class) to use in trying to refresh.

"copy_refresh_from"¶

Pass in a previous access token, copy anything needed to refresh.

"request"¶

Make a request. If expiration is detected, refreshing by the best available method (if any).

    my $response = $access_token->request($oauth2, @request_for_lwp);

"_request"¶

Make a request with no retry logic, and return a response, and a flag for whether it is possible the access token is expired..

    my ($response, $try_refresh)
        = $access_token->_request($oauth2, @request_for_lwp);

THIS IS THE ONLY METHOD A SUBCLASS MUST OVERRIDE!
