When developing a custom data connector for a GraphQL API, are there any oAuth examples?

I'm trying to develop a custom data connector that accesses a GraphQl API, using oAuth.

 

The first time it works great, I get a token and query data!

 

But when the token expires, the API responds with the following payload: 

 

 

 

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "name": "GraphQLError",
      "message": "No valid session could be found, please reauthenticate",
      "path": [
        "roles"
      ],
      "code": "token-invalid",
      "locations": [
        {
          "line": 2,
          "column": 3
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "data": null
}

 

 

 

And then nothing works - the refresh token apparently not being used.

 

How can I tell the extensions oAuth package that it should retrive a new access_token?

 

Thanks in advance, 

 

/Alex

 

Update 

 

In the end I gave up and changed the GraphQl API to return statusCode 401 --> now it works.
