Hi Gagan,
Thank you for reaching out, it looks like you are receiving aninvalid_granterror. This error typically occurs when using a stored refresh token and one of the following is true:
- Scopes for the OAuth API app have changed
- The user revoked authorization to the OAuth API app
- The OAuth API app is approved multiple times by the same user—this will cause the previous authorization to reset and a new refresh token to be generated.
If any of these actions have occurred, please try completing the authorization process again for the user to generate a newaccess_tokenandrefresh_token. Try using the newrefresh_tokento generate any newaccess_tokenafter the initialaccess_tokenexpires. Please see our OAuth Walkthrough documentation for more details.
If the issue persists, please submit a support request, along with the code snippet you just provided, so we can further assist you in determining why that error is being thrown. Thanks!

Thank you for the reply.
For me, the issue was due to:
- The OAuth API app is approved multiple times by the same user—this will cause the previous authorization to reset and a new refresh token to be generated.
