How would that work? Someone still needs to access the site, log in and confirm the authorization. It's not possible to do this in a fully automated fashion without user interaction, unless you use the browser auth.

I suppose it would be possible to move the input statement out of get_code, that would allow people to code their own oauth flows in say, Desktop apps.

You could then do:

from ytmusicapi.auth.oauth import YTMusicOAuth

session = requests.Session()
oauth = YTMusicOAuth(session)

code = oauth.get_code()

# tell the user to finish the flow at code['verification_url']

token = oauth.get_token_from_code(code["device_code"])

# store the token in oauth.json

Is that what you intended?

For anyone reading, in the latest version of ytmusicapi (1.5.2 as of today), it would use the OAuthCredentials class and the token_from_code() function.

from ytmusicapi.auth.oauth import OAuthCredentials

session = requests.Session()
oauth = OAuthCredentials(session=session)

code = oauth.get_code()

# tell the user to finish the flow at code['verification_url']

token = oauth.token_from_code(code["device_code"])

# store the token in oauth.json

However even though token_from_code is documented to return a RefreshableTokenDict, the token it's returning is missing the expires_at property, which makes it invalid and results in a 401 Unauthorized when trying to use it. It has expires_in and access_token but no expires_at. I'm trying to figure out how to make it a proper refresh token -- wondering if I'm missing something.

@apastel what you want is a RefreshingToken:

github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi@98e0bc749c/ytmusicapi/auth/oauth/token.py (L129-L131)

Feel free to suggest/submit non-breaking usability changes or documentation if you find time :)

@sigma67 Thanks, I figured it had something to do with that but wasn't sure.

My updated code looks like this and is working:

from ytmusicapi.auth.oauth import OAuthCredentials, RefreshingToken

session = requests.Session()
oauth = OAuthCredentials(session=session)

code = oauth.get_code()

# tell the user to finish the flow at code['verification_url']

raw_token = oauth.token_from_code(code["device_code"])
ref_token = RefreshingToken(credentials=oauth, **raw_token)

# store the token in oauth.json
ref_token.store_token(<path_to_store_token>)
