Get refresh token with Azure AD V2.0 (MSAL) and As

Question

I've got access_token from Azure Ad V2.0 endpoint to call Graph Api. But I have to do some actions in the api on behalf of user. So I need refresh_token to renew my access_token when it'll expire.

Is there any way to get Refresh token using MSAL in ASP .Net Core?

In microsoft documentaion they're telling it's possible to do by requesting /token endpoint. But I couldn't find how to do it using MSAL.

MSAL .NET does not expose the refresh token, but rather keeps it internal and handles all token refresh and caching logic on the app's behalf.

The docs you're referring to are referencing the protocol itself that MSAL is completing on your behalf. It goes to the /token endpoint with an authorization code (after the end user signs in), and is issued an Access and Refresh token. The Access Token is valid for 1 hour, and when it's expired, AcquireTokenSilent will automatically use the refresh token against the /token endpoint to get a new access token.
