Google for “curl oauth2” for lots of helpful explanations and examples.

It's not as straightforward as something like Insomnia because you have to write a script that will open a browser and pull the tokens from there.

That depends. If you can use the command line and write a short script that’s just copy/paste from StackOverflow, curl is very simple.
