I had a look at all docus but I cant recognize in the example how I can get an accesstoken. I can generate the uri to show the authentification to the user but I cant receive a token.

Can you gibe me a hint?

      I unterstand the following Workflow of this example...

      I get the Uri To Show the User the authorisation Website. With the Parameter 'code' the User must Input the code manually into my app.
      Is this right ?

        If you use the "code" flow without a redirect URI, then yes, the user will have to manually copy and paste the authorization code into the app.

        Using a redirect URI is recommended though, as shown in the example, as that will automatically pass the authorization code to your app, without the user copying/pasting it manually.
