LinkedIn Refresh Access Token OAuth 1.0\2.0

Has any one tried to refresh the access token (without requiring user input).

https://developer.linkedin.com/blog/tips-and-tricks-refreshing-access-token

The documentation at the link above makes it seem like this is possible only for OAuth 1.0.

you're right, the document at the link is just for OAuth 1.0. For OAuth 2.0, LinkedIn Document just saysAccess tokens have a life span of 60 days. You should have a mechanism in your code to refresh the tokens before they expire in order to continue using the same access tokens. I haven't found any details about how to refresh token without user input in LinkedIn OAuth 2.0. Standard OAuth 2.0 should support this function.

And here's a talk about this in LinkedIn Developers Forum.
