@lcordy

means every client request will get a new token

Adding one line after line 49 solves it, I am not sure why it's such a big issue

        Token = token;

I created a updated version that handle expiration date, for anyway interested is over here:

Thanks @alexeyzimarev for the base example.

Cool! Thanks @vanderlei-dev

v107 documentation is not correct.
_client = new RestClient(options)
{
Authenticator = new TwitterAuthenticator("https://api.twitter.com", apiKey, apiKeySecret)
};

The above code will NOT compile because Authenticator is getter and can not be set.

I appreciate the report, but it would've been better to open an issue in the RestSharp repository rather than commenting on my old gist.

@keyse just inform during the creation of the RestClientOptions instance:

 async Task<TokenResponse> GetToken() 
{
        //here
       var options = new RestClientOptions(_baseUrl){ Authenticator = new HttpBasicAuthenticator(_clientId, _clientSecret) };
        //not here
        using var client = new RestClient(options) { // Authenticator = new HttpBasicAuthenticator(_clientId, _clientSecret) };

        var request = new RestRequest("oauth2/token") .AddParameter("grant_type", "client_credentials");

        return await client.PostAsync<TokenResponse>(request); 
} 

@alexeyzimarev thanks for your example, it was a great help!
