OAuth2 for the first time

General
1

I have used simple REST APIs in the past without authentication, and I am trying to wrap my head around OAuth2. The API I want to use is not Google.

I have seen a few oauth2 nodes for node-red that implement the authorization, getting and refreshing the token. Is there any particular node that you could recommend?

Do I understand it correctly that the OAuth process requests a Bearer token from the server and for the "actual" communication I can use simple HTTP Request nodes with the bearer token added to the header?

Thanks, and Merry Christmas who are reading this today :slight_smile:

I have posted a flow a while back that should be able to help you to get going.
