# Getting Stored OAuth Tokens and User Information

Cotter's SDK automatically stores the returned `access_token`, `id_token` , `refresh_token` and user information in the device's secure storage when the user successfully authenticates.

## Get Access Token

This function automatically refreshes the access token when needed.

```javascript
const getAccessToken = async () => {
  var cotter = new Cotter(API_KEY_ID);
  try {
    var accessToken = await cotter.tokenHandler.getAccessToken();
    console.log('Access Token', accessToken);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log('Access Token Error', err);
  }
};
```

## Get ID Token

This function automatically refreshes the id token when needed.

```javascript
const getIDToken = async () => {
  var cotter = new Cotter(API_KEY_ID);
  try {
    var idToken = await cotter.tokenHandler.getIDToken();
    console.log('ID Token', idToken);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log('ID Token Error', err);
  }
};
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cotter.app/sdk-reference/react-native/getting-stored-oauth-tokens-and-user-information.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
