Getting Consent from DocuSign in a Console App context

Question

I am struggling to get access tokens from .net console app context. I am getting them and they work, but they expire too fast.

I checked the other two threads in stackoverflow, in both answers it was stated, that once you get the consent per IK and per user, you don't have to do it anymore. However once I get the bearer token from the return_url and use it to request the access tokens a few minutes after the bearer was obtained, I get response with "error_description:expired_client_token".

So me manually obtaining bearer from the browser in order to set it as a parameter (again manually) in my console app and having the bearer expiration duration just a few minutes doesn't match "Consent is needed only once, ever, per a specific integration and a user". I see that docusign uses cookies' values/expiration and can probably reverse engineer a GET call to account-d.docusign to get the bearer from the console app context, but that's not what I'd expect from an API provider.

For reference I'm using the following URL to manually get the bearer from the browser: https://account-d.docusign.com/oauth/auth?response_type=code&scope=signature&client_id=d69848a8-2a93-4d03-ab40-bcabda8a7e8f&redirect_uri=https://www.docusign.com But as stated above, it does expire in a few mins to get the aforementioned error_description Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

The token in the response only lasts about 2 minutes. Its true that consent is only needed once, but your problem is not consent.
