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)

some examples

• Monzo
• FreeAgent
• Google
• Facebook (no refresh tokens, needs manual re-auth)
• TransferWise (coming soon...)
