The place to go for API advice is the Developer Hub: https://devhub.arubanetworks.com/
As there are multiple APIs, it's hard to provide specific answers. But the 2 hour token normally comes with a refresh token that can be used to get an new access token; and is you use the SDK (pyCentral for example), it normally takes care of requesting/renewing the token.

Subject: Seeking advice on how to use or connect to the Aruba API.
Hello everyone.
I'm currently researching and developing an ITSM system for my organization, and I need to connect to the Aruba API. I have many questions and would appreciate some advice.
1. The API I create from Aruba Central only lasts for 2 hours. Are there any ways to avoid generating a new token every 2 hours?
2. I need to connect to the Aruba API to check warranty information. Is this possible, and what are the steps to request access?
3. Regarding service APIs within Aruba Central, what kind of API would you recommend that would be beneficial beyond just checking warranty information or automating case opening?
