Teknik.io integration is partially broken

[ghost]

There is an issue with the teknik uploader when using your account where the account is automatically disconnected from ShareX after a while. I contacted Teknik support via email and this is what they said.

I believe the issue is that the way sharex is getting the access token, it isn't then getting a refresh token to be able to ask and get a fresh token for every request. It's only using a single auth token which expires after a set period of time. The short workaround is to relink your teknik account when it expires. But fundamentaly the oauth sharex is using needs to instead support refresh tokens and use those.

If possible please consider fixing this uploader. Here's the original link: #778

+1. This problem is really annoying as you won't receive any error, just will upload it as anonymous, and the anonymous upload expires after 24 hours.

Teknik is the best working for sharing media on chat services. Please fix this.

This is really annoying. It is still not fixed yet even after over a half year.

Teknik developer pull requested uploader support to ShareX. So he can easily fix it because he knows the code he wrote himself.

I'll take a look at it. Need to do some reworking of the oauth module in ShareX to use refresh tokens to get the actual access tokens to use for authentication. As well, currently Teknik requires authentication, so will need to make that clear in the module.

As well, it should still work if you authenticate in the uploader settings. It just won't stay authenticated for long, as the oauth module doesn't leverage refresh tokens.

No need reworking oauth module, it already supports auto refreshing expired tokens. Currently few uploaders already using it, such as: Imgur, Google Drive, OneDrive, Gfycat, Box etc. So you can check these uploaders for example usage.

Awesome, must have missed that when I first implemented the uploader. I'll use that then.
