How can I return the refresh\_token in my react app? I am currently using getAccessTokenSilently which is returning access\_token, expires\_in, id\_token, and scope. The code is the following:

```auto
const refreshToken = await getAccessTokenSilently({
                    ignoreCache: true,
                    audience: `https://${domain}/api/v2/`,
                    redirect_uri: "...",
                    scope: "openid offline_access",
                    grant: "refresh_token",
                    detailedResponse: true,
                });

                console.log("RF: ", refreshToken);

```

- Which SDK this is regarding: auth0-react

hey there @lm2000!

`getAccessTokenSilently` is described [here](https://auth0.com/docs/libraries/auth0-single-page-app-sdk#get-access-token-with-no-interaction) - Are you meeting all the requirements listed? Are you including the `offline_access` scope in the initial authorize request? You can [configure](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-spa-js#refresh-tokens) the SDK to do this for you.

The following topics may be useful as well:

> SDK name: auth0-react SDK Version: v1.10.2 Code Snippets/Error Messages/Supporting Details/Screenshots: After the user signs in, we can use getAccessTokenSilently and get access token, but how to get refresh token? I can see in the networks tab, there is a page with service worker that gives the response in json that contains refresh\_token along with other things. Screenshot: How can I access this response ? As I am unable to get a hold of this service…

Hope this helps!
