Module oauth2

Helpers for requesting OAuth2 tokens.

OAuth2 has a few possible ways to authenticate, and the right choice depends on how your app operates and is deployed.

For an overview, see the Dropbox OAuth Guide.

For quick recommendations based on the type of app you have, see the OAuth types summary.
