exchangeRefreshTokenForAuthTokens not returning new refresh_token as stated in documentation

[Neppelenbroek]

I'm trying to get a new refresh token without having to use my npsso token. I was hoping that exchangeRefreshTokenForAuthTokens would do this as the description of this function in the documentation makes me think it should.

This function lets you exchange your refresh token retrieved from your initial log in for a set of new access and refresh tokens. By using this function, you no longer need to constantly retrieve a new NPSSO.

Unfortunately, it returns the refresh token I use to make the call, and the "refresh_token_expires_in" property doesn't reset so it keeps counting down. Can I only get a new refresh_token once the current one has expired, or is this function broken?

I'm looking for something that returns a new refresh token without the need of my npsso. Basically I want to keep my authentication valid as long as possible instead of having to login to playstation.com every 2 months.

is this function broken?

In order to rapidly respond to breaking changes, psn-api is intentionally low-level. The function is a very thin wrapper around direct API calls to PSN itself, with little to no magic within.

That is indeed desirable. To the best of my knowledge, no public-facing endpoint exists for this purpose. However, if one does exist, I'd be happy to add it.

Alright, makes sense. Perhaps an idea to update the documentation for this part: https://psn-api.achievements.app/api-docs/authentication#exchangerefreshtokenforauthtokens as it let me to believe that there's a way to keep your 'session' alive without the need for your npsso token. If I understand correctly, the maximum time to keep a live connection with the API is 2 months before you'll need a new npsso token?

thanks in advance :)
