   Two weeks. Loopback, the framework the API is built with, doesn't use JWTs, it has its own access token scheme, and there's no refresh built in.

   EDIT: And to answer your other question, the only way to tell if a user is logged in is to hit an authenticated endpoint and see what the response is. (e.g. /v0/users/current, passing the access token, and if you get a 200 you're logged in, if you get a 401 you're not)

   Thanks! Would be nice to have a method for that implemented directly into the jsclient.

   This works for me:

   const OF = new (require("openframe-jsclient"))();
   const auth = require("openframe-jsclient/src/auth");
   
   const token = auth.getToken();
   
   fetch(
     "https://api.openframe.io/v0/users/current?access_token=" + token
   ).then(response => {
     if (response.status == 200) loggedIn = true;
     else if (response.status == 404 || response.status == 401) loggedIn = false;
   }
