Hey there @sajan welcome to the community!

Each access token will have an exp (expiration) claim which is a Unix timestamp, here’s a sample access token.

You’ll most likely want to use a library listed here to decode an access token in order to inspect the exp claim.

Hope this helps!

  "exp": 1311281970,
  "iat": 1311280970,

{
    "access_token": "",
    "scope": "",

No problem, happy to help!

It really depends on what you’re looking for - exp is the timestamp for the expiration date where as expires_in is the number of seconds to expiration.
