npm install @ralfuhlig/node-red-oauth2-auth

node-red-oauth2-auth

OAuth2 client for getting oauth2 credentials by the authorization flow to use in other nodes. Credentials are automatically refreshed on expiration. After a successful authorization, the msg object has an element headers/Authorization with the value Bearer access token. This element can directly be used for the authentication in the htmlRequest node.

The former new element bearerToken was removed with version 0.4.0. Sorry for the breaking change.

With version 0.4.0, node-red will now store valid tokens on shutdown and reload them on start. So there is no need anymore to do the autorization procedure again after node-red was restarted.

I liked to have an indepentent implementation of the oauth2 authentication flow. Inspired by https://github.com/node-red/node-red-web-nodes/tree/master/google, I implemented this node in a similar way.

Maybe it's useful for others. Up to now, there are no releases.
