What is the different between getRefreshToken() to iid().getToken() in Firebase?

I have a question about firebase... recently I see that 

app.messaging().getRefreshToken()

didn't call every time and I understand why but if I want anyway to call it every time. so calling to 

app.iid().getToken()

is equivalent to getRefreshToken()?

If not what is the different between them?

Thank you

Although I don't see the getRefreshToken() in the docs but the below explanation should help.

getToken(forceRefresh): getToken method returns a JWT token to identify the user.

It returns the current token if it has not expired, otherwise this will refresh the token and return a new one.

If you use forceRefresh: true, it will always return a refreshed token regardless of expiration.

app.iid().getToken(true) will fetch the refreshed token.
