Hide asking confirmation on login

Hello, is it possible to remove the authorization popup everytime on logging in? If once user is logged in i don't need to show the popup in next login. Is it possible?

The result of the OAuth 2 authorize URL you posted is an access token. When that access token (which is just a string) is returned to your app, you can store and re-use it in the future, so that you don't have to send the user to that authorize URL again. Since the access token is just a string, you can store is in whatever data persistence layer you have (i.e., your database, or the browser's local storage, etc.).
