oauth

Pre-auth OAuth2 APIs locally

...then request/refresh access tokens easily

why?

I have some personal scripts that need to interact with OAuth2 APIs for a single user.

usage

register your app

  • create/register an app with your API provider of choice
  • set callback URL to http://localhost:8080

configure the module

  • drop endpoints, client id and secret, etc in options
  • you can pre-configure previously acquired auth code and tokens

single function to call

  • returns access token (and auth code, refresh token, token expiry)
  • requests auth code (if not pre-configured)
    • starts local server for auth code callback
    • opens your browser with the approve URL
  • requests or refreshes access token (if not pre-configured or expired)
