How to get some merchant's information from the webhook action (in the callback of my site)?

Hello,

I'm trying to get merchant's information on my webhook callback (on my site).

I do request like this /v3/merchants/{mId}?accesstoken={generatedaccesstokenper_merchant}.

but to get this information I need to get the access_token.

I can not get access_token by this request:

'/oauth/token?clientid={appid}&code=' . $GET['code'] . '&clientsecret={secret}

cause i do not have $_GET['code'].

Dear developers and moderators, please advice me some other approach to get information from this api: /v3/merchants/{mId}?shifts, address...etc

or some way to receive merchant's token to avoid response {401: unautorised}.

Thank you in advance.

You need to get a token from the merchant. You can do this using OAuth explained here - https://docs.clover.com/build/oauth-2-0/

Do we just store the api token retrieved via oauth (during app install/ onboarding) and use that in perpetuity? how long do those last? how would we refresh them if they expire since we are acting from a webhook and don't have a user to redirect to oauth/authorize?

Same here I don't understand in the App Install web hook. There is only the Merchant ID how do I get the information on that Merchant? There has been no prior contact to our company so there is no stored information in our Database. Where can I generate the access_token to request the merchant information
