The OAuth endpoints related to user access tokens are not all part of GitHub's REST API and they behave slightly different. The methods exported by `@octokit/normalize the differences so you don't have to.

## Usage

<table>
<tbody valign=top align=left>
<tr><th>

Browsers

</th><td width=100%>

`@octokit/oauth-methods` is not meant for browser usage.

Some of the methods will work, but others do not have CORS headers enabled and will fail (`exchangeWebFlowCode()`, `createDeviceCode()`, `exchangeDeviceCode()`, `refreshToken()`). Also the Client Secret should not be exposed to clients as it can be used for a [Person-in-the-middle attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Person-in-the-middle_attack).

</td></tr>
<tr><th>

Node

</th><td>

Install with `npm install @octokit/core @octokit/oauth-methods`

```js
import {
  exchangeWebFlowCode,
  createDeviceCode,
  exchangeDeviceCode,
  checkToken,
  refreshToken,
  scopeToken,
  resetToken,
  deleteToken,
  deleteAuthorization,
} from "@octokit/oauth-methods";
```

### OAuth Web Flow

After a user granted access to an OAuth App or GitHub App on [Step 1 of GitHub's OAuth Web Flow](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/identifying-and-authorizing-users-for-github-apps#1-request-a-users-github-identity), they get redirected to a URL controlled by your app with a `?code=...` query parameter.

You can exchange that code for a user access token as described in [Step 2 of GitHub's OAuth Web Flow](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/authorizing-oauth-apps#2-users-are-redirected-back-to-your-site-by-github).

Setting `clientType` is required because there are slight differences between `"oauth-app"` and `"github-app"`. Most importantly, GitHub Apps do not support scopes.

```js
const { data, authentication } = await exchangeWebFlowCode({
  clientType: "oauth-app",
  clientId: "1234567890abcdef1234",
  clientSecret: "1234567890abcdef12347890abcdef12345678",
  code: "code123",
  scopes: ["repo"],
});
```

`data` is the raw response data. `authentication` is a [User Authentication object](#authentication-object).

### OAuth Device Flow

In [step 1 of GitHub's OAuth Device Flow](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/authorizing-oauth-apps#step-1-app-requests-the-device-and-user-verification-codes-from-github), you need to create a device and user code

```js
const {
  data: { device_code, user_code, verification_uri },
} = await createDeviceCode({
  clientType: "oauth-app",
  clientId: "1234567890abcdef1234",
  scopes: ["repo"],
});
```

In [step 2 of GitHub's OAuth Device Flow](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/authorizing-oauth-apps#step-2-prompt-the-user-to-enter-the-user-code-in-a-browser), the user has to enter `user_code` on `verification_uri` (https://github.com/login/device unless you use GitHub Enterprise Server).

Once the user entered the code and granted access, you can exchange the `device_code` for a user access token in [step 3 of GitHub's OAuth Device Flow](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/authorizing-oauth-apps#step-3-app-polls-github-to-check-if-the-user-authorized-the-device)

```js
const { data, authentication } = await exchangeDeviceCode({
  clientType: "oauth-app",
  clientId: "1234567890abcdef1234",
  code: device_code,
});
```

`data` is the raw response data. `authentication` is a [User Authentication object](#authentication-object).

## Methods

### `getWebFlowAuthorizationUrl()`

This is a wrapper around [`@octokit/oauth-authorization-url`](https://github.com/octokit/oauth-authorization-url.js#readme) that accepts a `request` option instead of `baseUrl` for consistency with the other OAuth methods. `getWebFlowAuthorizationUrl()` is a synchronous method and does not send any request.

```js
const { url } = getWebFlowAuthorizationUrl({
  clientType: "oauth-app",
  clientId: "1234567890abcdef1234",
  scopes: ["repo"],
});
```

      <td>

Only relevant if `clientType` is set to `"oauth-app"`.

An array of scope names (or: space-delimited list of scopes). If not provided, scope defaults to an empty list for users that have not authorized any scopes for the application. For users who have authorized scopes for the application, the user won't be shown the OAuth authorization page with the list of scopes. Instead, this step of the flow will automatically complete with the set of scopes the user has authorized for the application. For example, if a user has already performed the web flow twice and has authorized one token with user scope and another token with repo scope, a third web flow that does not provide a scope will receive a token with user and repo scope.

Defaults to `[]`.

```js
import { request } from "@octokit/request";
const { url } = getWebFlowAuthorizationUrl({

Resolves with an [`@octokit/request` response object](https://github.com/octokit/request.js/#request) for [`POST /applications/{client_id}/token`](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/apps#check-a-token) with an additional `authentication` key which is the [authentication object](#authentication-object). Note that the `authentication` object will not include the keys for expiring authentication.

### `refreshToken()`

Expiring user access tokens are currently in preview. You can [enable them for any of your GitHub apps](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/refreshing-user-to-server-access-tokens#configuring-expiring-user-tokens-for-an-existing-github-app). OAuth Apps do not support expiring user access tokens

When a user access token expires it can be [refreshed using a refresh token](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/refreshing-user-to-server-access-tokens). Refreshing a token invalidates the current user access token.

```js
const { data, authentication } = await refreshToken({
  clientType: "github-app",
  clientId: "lv1.1234567890abcdef",
  clientSecret: "1234567890abcdef12347890abcdef12345678",
  refreshToken: "r1.refreshtoken123",
});
```

## Authentication object

The `authentication` object returned by the methods have one of three formats.

1. [OAuth APP authentication token](#oauth-app-authentication-token)
1. [GitHub APP non-expiring user authentication token with expiring disabled](#github-app-user-authentication-token-with-expiring-disabled)
1. [GitHub APP user authentication token with expiring enabled](#github-app-user-authentication-token-with-expiring-enabled)

The differences are

1. `scopes` is only present for OAuth Apps
2. `refreshToken`, `expiresAt`, `refreshTokenExpiresAt` are only present for GitHub Apps, and only if token expiration is enabled

Note that the `clientSecret` may not be set when using [`exchangeDeviceCode()`](#exchangedevicecode) as `clientSecret` is not required for the OAuth device flow.
