# OpenID Connect Access Token Refresh

Issue a POST to `/idp/profile/oidc/token` with the following parameters.

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| grant_type | String *required* | “refresh_token” |
| refresh_token | String *required* | The refresh token value received in the Token Response |
| scope | String *optional* | Space-delimited API scopes, defaults to whatever scope was originally granted. |
| client_id | String *optional* | Your Client ID. This is *required* if HTTP Basic Authentication is not used |
| client_secret | String *optional* | Your Client Secret. This is *required* if HTTP Basic Authentication is not used |

As shown in the above table, HTTP Basic Authentication may be used instead of providing *client_id* and *client_secret* as request parameters. In that case the Client ID should be used as the username and the Client Secret should be used as the password.

Assuming the request is valid the Authorization Server will generate new Access ID and Refresh tokens and return a response in the same format as the Token Response.
