The request body must contain the following parameter: 'refresh_token' or 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'refresh_token'

Hi,

I have followed the instructions to setup the oflow authentication and have a successful token in my directory.

>>> mailbox = account.mailbox()
>>> query = mailbox.new_query().on_attribute('from').contains('@bob.com')
>>> query = query.chain('and').on_attribute('is_read').equals(False)
>>> messages = mailbox.get_messages(limit=25, query=query)
Traceback (most recent call last):

However when I run a script I get the missing authentication token error if I use just account, looking at other issues and documentation I assumed I must need to create a con each time also

so ive added the below:

    scopes = ['calendar','message_all','offline_access']
    con = Connection((credentials.username, credentials.password), scopes=scopes)
    con.refresh_token()

    account = Account((credentials.username, credentials.password))
    mailbox = account.mailbox()
    query = mailbox.new_query().on_attribute('from').contains('@kcom.com')
    query = query.chain('and').on_attribute('is_read').equals(False)
    messages = mailbox.get_messages(limit=25, query=query)

and now I get the error

>>> con.refresh_token()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/O365/connection.py", line 484, in refresh_token
    self.token = token = (self.session
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'refresh_token'

Thanks for any help

You do not have the refresh_token. That’s why you are getting the error.

If you don’t ask the offline_access scope basically you only receive a “1 time, 1 hour” access token. After this 1 hour you will have to re-authenticate again. To avoid this just include the offline_access scope.

Do the following in order:

1. Make sure you have this permissions included in the app registration portal:

   • User.Read
   • offline_access

2. Perform the authentication flow with this library. Just do this:

   credentials = ('my_client_id', 'my_secret')
   my_desired_scopes =['basic', 'calendar', 'address_book_all', 'message_all']
   account = Account(credentials)
   account.authenticate(scopes=my_desired_scopes)
   # follow authentication flow. You should retrieve the token. 
   

   I’ve just added the scopes you have pasted on your token definition above. Check scope helpers for more options.

3. Then (without calling account.authenticate again), just use the library… you don’t have to call refresh_token. The token is refreshed automatically.

finally got it working! I used what you had said above. what threw me off was the step 1, I assumed I needed to use the manual scopes as a step before I could use the helper, I then realised I add them manually to the app in the 365 portal, then use step 2.

thanks for your assistance and your patience
