  // do something
}).catch(function (e) {
  e.error // reauth or other error    
});

Check permission

instance.checkPermission(token(string)).then(function(res){
  // has enough or more permissions then needed
}).catch(function (e) {
  e.error // does not have the needed permissions
});

Get app access token

instance.getAppAccessToken().then(function(){
    instance.appAccessToken // here is the token
