# GlideOAuthToken - Scoped, Global

The GlideOAuthToken API provides methods for retrieving OAuth access token and information about the access token.

You can use this API in global and scoped scripts. In scoped scripts use the `sn_auth` namespace identifier.

**Parent Topic:**[Server API reference](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/server-api-reference/api-server.md)

## GlideOAuthToken - getAccessToken\(\)

Retrieves the access token associated with the GlideOAuthToken object.

|Name|Type|Description|
|----|----|-----------|
|None| | |

|Type|Description|
|----|-----------|
|String|Access token.|

This example code shows how to retrieve access and refresh tokens from the instance database. See also [GlideOAuthClient](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/server-api-reference/c_GlideOAuthClient.md).

```
function dumpToken(token) {
  if(token) {
     gs.info("AccessToken:" + token.getAccessToken());
     gs.info("AccessTokenExpiresIn:" + token.getExpiresIn());
     gs.info("RefreshToken:" + token.getRefreshToken());
  }
}

var oAuthClient = new  sn_auth.GlideOAuthClient();
var token = oAuthClient.getToken('248e3017c302301089a7dd5c2840dda5', '9c4e78d3c302301089a7dd5c2840dd76');
dumpToken(token);
```

Output:

```
