IBM Watson Unity SDK IAM Authentication

Question

In the IBM Watson Unity SDK, using the IamAuthenticator to initialize a Watson Service with your API Key generates a token that is then used by the service to make IBM Watson API requests. Do these tokens expire?

I know a new token must be requested every hour using the IBM Watson Node SDK in combination with a browser app, but does the IamAuthenticator not take care of refreshing the tokens for you in the Unity SDK? If not, how would I go about refreshing the token every hour, do I just create a new Authenticator object every time and thus a new service object? Or is there a utility method for this?

The documentation for this SDK is not very good, would appreciate if someone pointed me in the right direction for this.

Answer 1

please check out the IAM section in Readme . You can use IAM API key if you want SDK to manage the lifecycle of the token, please see the following docs if you wanna learn more about IAM.
