On http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OAuth2.html Google distinguishes between two kinds of tokens: refresh tokens and access tokens. Is a refresh token same as a more conventional request token? On http://oauth.net/core/1.0/ I can’t find refresh tokens being mentioned anywhere. Or, is it new to OAuth2.0?

    access token is a kind of authorization and is last part of handshaking between your application and oAuth system

    Access Token indicates that your application has already passed all the verification steps and now can access the API/data on the user behalf.

    Its kind of a key which is being handed over to you after verification and authorization from the concern part (use in our case).

    refresh token is kind of a measure to allow access up to a certain time for API and if you again need the access you again have to get the Access Token.
