To pull the authentication token via OAuth2, is there any way to skip the redirect step in the middle that forces the user to open a web browser and manually copy the code from the redirect URI? We're looking for a way for the login information to be passed directly from Python and bypass the web browser step altogether. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

If you would like no required end-user interaction, you will need to change your authenticate type to use JWT instead of OAuth2.
