off topic, sorry: Looking at the docs and I don't find a quick answer. I really want an API client that will do OAuth and handle token refresh, and I haven't found one. The use case is that (obviously) I control the redirect URI, so I'd like to map it back to client (some kind of proxy that I run and make external with all of the requisite DNS and TLS) or maybe via a hosted service (which I'm willing to accept for the convenience.)

I haven't used postman or insomnia in a while since they went to the cloud, so I could just be missing it, but that's also a non-starter for me.

Yaak does this out of the box. It pops open a browser window and intercepts any redirect. And auto refresh is built in as well.

RapidAPI (ex. Paw) does that AFAIK.

Also, it’s an amazing app.

Still mad about the boring rebrand from Paw but it is still a nice app
