OAuth2 authentication in REST Clients

What is the best practice for OAuth2 authentication for xDM REST Clients? 


Since OAuth2 is a standard authentication method for REST APIs, what's the correct way to retrieve a new token and force xDM to get a new token when the token expires?


Right now, I am using custom SQL functions to generate the encoded credentials and sending it to get a token. Then I have a custom SQL procedure to get a new token every time the REST API is called even if the current token hasn't expired. It feels very hacky and is brittle.


I would prefer a more robust way to handle authentication.


Thank you in advance.
