@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...

I guess that there is no way around showing the site in a browser component, because that's how OAuth is normally used.

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.
