How can I validate if a token is still valid using the REST API?

Hey there!

I'm facing a problem in figuring out if a token is still valid. It would really save me some issues to avoid sending requests with an invalid token. Right now, the only clue that I have the token is invalid is because I'm getting  an empty response, but this is not enough.

I'm not sure if an empty response could be returned in a different scenario. Please let me know if there's a way to know if the token is still valid.

I think the error message - not authorised, will tell you whether you have used an invalid or non existing token.

Thank you @milynnus

Yup, I can tell from the HTTP status code—I'm getting a 401 whenever this happens.
