# The OAuth access token provided by the Google API expires in 60 minutes. After expiration,
# you must exchange a refresh token for a new access token. Unfortunately, the the Google API 
# ruby gem does not include a method for refreshing access tokens. 

# You can read up on how to refresh an access token here: 
# https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2WebServer#refresh

# This Token model implements that process. It's based off of a Token model that can be created 
# by running: 
# rails g model Token token:text refresh_token:string expires_at:datetime
