Post Body

Hi,

I've been playing around with the reddit API for a while and something that I could never understand is that, I am unable to get the refresh_token for script type apps.

I usually make a POST Request to https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/access_token endpoint with grant_type=password. This only provides access_token with a validity of 24 hours.

I tried making requests with duration=permanent in the POST data, but still couldn't get a refresh token. Could someone help me understand more about this ? (I don't think the docs have been updated)
