Getting Started

Authorization

Currently only Installed Apps are supported. A script using this library has to register an installed app, or authorize an existing one. To use an existing App, or set your own app, set the environment variable CLIENT_ID as the app's ID, and CLIENT_SECRET as base64 encoded CLIENT_ID. You can also set these values in a .env file, for example as shown here.

If you want to use your own installed app, create one over here. It is important to choose installed app. See the official documentation
