Outlook REST API expiration

Question

I implemented the outlook REST api on my Rails app following this official tutorial: https://dev.outlook.com/restapi/tutorial/ruby By the way, it needs to be updated. Outlook now requires more permissions ('profile') to get the email of the user in the auth controller:

SCOPES = [ 'openid', 'profile', 'https://outlook.office.com/mail.read' ]

Anyhow, I am storing the email and token after authenticating, but that token is very short lived. I need a way to permanently store authentication for the user. When I run things as suggested and want to get the emails the response is:

...
  response_headers: !ruby/hash-with-ivars:Faraday::Utils::Headers

      content-length: '0'

How do I adjust this code to store a permanent token?

OK< I found a few answers on StackOverflow for different stacks. I would normally delete my post, but for Rails developer who may need this, the answer to my questions is simply adding 'offline_access' to SCOPES = [ 'openid', 'profile', 'offline_access', 'https://outlook.office.com/mail.read' ]
