Geocaching.com Authorization Token Expiring
Posted: July 7th, 2015, 11:04 pm
Hi,
Today, Geocaching.com started expiring all authorization tokens that are 90 or more days old. What this means is that when you access the site with an expired token, LonelyCache will no longer be able to access your account (per your authorization) through the Geocaching.com Live API.
I'm not sure of all the different ways an expired token will manifest itself on the LonelyCache website. Probably the most obvious will be that your geocaching.com avatar will no longer show up on the LonelyCache website.
To fix this, go to your LonelyCache account profile and click on the Renew button.
I will be adding some smarts to the website where you will automatically be redirected to the renew authorization page.
Regards,
Russell
