Python imp token expired immediately during OAuth flow

Help
1

Hey, just wondering if anyone else is encountering an issue when traveling to the connect_url link. Token says expired immediately upon reaching the link to complete OAuth. We:

  • have verified the connect token changes at every connect request
  • are using Python http but when testing with Node.js SDK found the same error
  • successfully pass the auth step to begin sending http requests
  • are sending the environment in with every request as “environment”: “development”

Any help on this would be awesome!

Hi @jarvus.bot,

I’m sorry you’re running into this issue with the connect_url link and the token expiring immediately. Here are some troubleshooting steps and information that may help:

Token Expiration and Common Errors

  • Connect tokens expire and are only able to be used once. If you see an error like “The Pipedream Connect token is invalid” or “This link has expired,” you need to generate a new token and try again.
  • Session Expiry: You may also see “This session has expired. Please refresh the page to try again.”
  • App Not Found: Double-check the app slug you’re passing when connecting your user’s account.

Troubleshooting Steps

  • Check the Network Response:
    Start the account connection flow in a browser and open the developer console.
    Filter for requests to:

    https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/tokens

    Check the response for explicit error messages.

  • Token Usage:
    Make sure you are not reusing a token. Each connect token can only be used once and expires after use or after a short period.

  • Environment Parameter:
    Ensure the “environment” parameter is set correctly and matches what your app expects.

Next Steps

  • Regenerate and Use a Fresh Token:
    Always use a newly generated connect token for each connection attempt.
  • Check for Clock Skew:
    If your server’s clock is out of sync, tokens may appear expired. Make sure your system time is accurate.
  • Browser Cache/Cookies:
    Try clearing your browser cache or using an incognito window to rule out session issues.

I’d check this suggestion from Pi:

  • App Not Found: Double-check the app slug you’re passing when connecting your user’s account.
