ETrade API question

[ajshastri]

Hello,

I have a question about how the trade API Auth module works looking at Etrade API Docs

I always understood the workflow as below:

The key and secret are obtained from etrade.
We use the oauth.get_request_token (https://api.etrade.com/oauth/request_token) to get the "EtradeURL"
I go to the "EtradeURL" (which I think is a bit of a garbage process), login, do all that fun stuff, and retrieve the access tokens.
Use this access token with the oauth.get_access_token class to get the OAuth tokens.
I use these Oauth tokens for all my scripting/programming needs.
So these are my questions:

The Get Access Token page on the etrade API doc says "The production access token expires by default at midnight US Eastern time." Does that mean I only have to generate it once a day?
The Renew Access Token page says I can renew the token, can I use this to renew my token at 12:01AM EST every night and I never have to go through with regenerating the oauth tokens ever again?
Please let me know.

After 2 hours with no activity, the access token becomes ‘inactive’, but can be renewed.
It will ‘expire’ at midnight Eastern, and a new token will be required.

You could also make a simple market call every hour and not require the renewal process. But the token will still expire at midnight.
