I am trying to build a flow using Whoop OAuth2 API, but am having trouble refreshing the access tokens. The docs are here ([https://developer.whoop.com/docs/introduction](https://developer.whoop.com/docs/introduction)). My understanding is that a refresh token call needs “Authorization: Bearer {access\_token}” in the header field. Is this supported and how would I accomplish that? (access\_tokens) are short lived and I need a way to reference the access\_token using a variable, I guess.

Thoughts?

Hi @Raj- It sounds like using the Expiring Access Token method would be the best way to set this up since Whoop uses OAuth 2.0.

If you need any help getting that step authorized, feel free to send over a link to your Flow to [help@parabola.io](mailto:help@parabola.io) and we can take a look!
