Google API OAuth 2.0 refresh token (Ruby on Rails)
# 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
