Token Renewal API – Public Overview

1. Purpose​

The Token Renewal Service helps approved partners maintain secure, uninterrupted connections with customers by allowing existing access tokens to be refreshed before they expire. Instead of requiring a full re-registration or setup process, this service supports continuity by extending trusted relationships in a controlled and reliable way.

At a high level, the service ensures that authorized data-sharing connections remain active over time while continuing to meet security and compliance expectations.

2. Who Can Use This Service​

This service is intended for:

  1. Business partners who already have an established relationship with the organization.
  2. Organizations that exchange data securely on an ongoing basis.
  3. Approved external systems that rely on time‑limited access credentials.

It is not designed for individual consumers or for creating new partnerships. Access is limited to partners who are already enabled for secure data exchange.

3. What Information Is Available​

The service provides high‑level information related to token renewal activities, including:

  • Confirmation that an existing access token is eligible for renewal
  • A newly issued replacement token
  • The updated validity period for the renewed token
  • General status information indicating success or the need for follow‑up

No personal health information, detailed customer records, or operational system data are exposed through this service.

4. Benefits of This Service​

Using the Token Renewal Service offers several advantages:

  • Business continuity – Helps avoid service interruptions caused by expired access credentials
  • Improved efficiency – Eliminates the need for full re-onboarding when tokens expire
  • Security alignment – Supports regular credential rotation as a best practice
  • Partner experience – Reduces administrative effort for long‑term integrations

Overall, the service balances ease of use with strong security controls.

5. Example Uses​

Common scenarios where this service is valuable include:

  1. A partner application that needs uninterrupted access to customer-authorized data
  2. Long‑running integrations where access credentials expire on a scheduled basis
  3. Automated systems that manage secure connections without manual intervention

In each case, the service allows the relationship to continue without changing how data is shared or consumed.

6. Important Notes​

  • This service does not create new access permissions; it only extends existing, approved ones.
  • Token renewal eligibility may depend on the current status of the partner and customer relationship.
  • Some partners may use alternative renewal mechanisms and may not require this service.
  • Availability and behavior of the service may evolve over time as security standards change.
