@Friendica Support How does the OAuth workflow work? With /api/v1/apps I get a client_id and a client_secret? How do I get the OAuth token?

With the following code I get an empty string:  xhr.setApi("/oauth/authorize");  xhr.clearParams();  xhr.setParam("response_type","code");  xhr.setParam("redirect_uri","urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob");  xhr.setParam("client_id",app.client_id);  xhr.setParam("force_login",true)  xhr.get();  Am I supposed to give username and password with this API? I can't show the website in the app, that would require a dependency to Qt Webengine...

The process requires multiple steps.
E.g. registering an application.
E.g. authorizing an user.

And no, you don't use an user name or password with the #API.
Tokens are used.
