Steps
Complete the authorization-code flow once to obtain an initial access_token and refresh_token from https://api.getjobber.com/api/oauth/token
Store the refresh_token securely; access tokens default to a 60-minute expiration, so plan to refresh proactively or on a 401
On expiry (or any time), POST grant_type=refresh_token with client_id, client_secret, and refresh_token to the same token endpoint to get a new access token
Check whether Refresh Token Rotation is enabled for your app — if it is on, persist the newly returned refresh_token each time since the old one becomes invalid; if off, the same refresh_token is reused indefinitely
Set the X-JOBBER-GRAPHQL-VERSION header on every GraphQL call to a version pulled from the changelog's active versions list, not left unset
Watch the extensions.versioning.warning field in responses for upcoming unsupported-version notices and migrate before the version is removed
Known gotchas
If both access and refresh tokens end up expired/invalidated (e.g. app disconnected, client secret regenerated, or scope change requiring re-auth), the only recovery is sending the user through the OAuth flow again — there is no silent recovery
Regenerating your client secret immediately revokes all refresh tokens issued under the old secret, even though already-issued access tokens keep working until they naturally expire
Old API versions are only guaranteed for 12 months and can be removed (in batches, roughly every 6 months) after becoming unsupported — requests on a removed version are silently upgraded to the oldest still-supported version, which may include breaking changes
