# Refresh existing authentication

`GET /api/v1/auth/refresh-token`

## Access Refresh

Once authenticated, an issued API Access Token will expire after 30 minutes.

This authenticated endpoint will "refresh" the access token by issuing a new jwt token with an extended expiration.

For best practices, use the `/refresh` route for refreshing authentication access to extend the API session.

## Response `200`

* A [JSON Web Token](https://jwt.io/) used to authenticate requests to the StackHawk API

- UserJWT — * A [JSON Web Token](https://jwt.io/) used to authenticate requests to the StackHawk API
  - `token` string — the bearer token value
