Steps
Register a Client ID and Secret as a developer in Deputy
Send the authentication request to Deputy to obtain an access code
Exchange the access code for an access_token (with expires_in) and a refresh_token
Include the access_token as a bearer credential on subsequent API calls to the Deputy install
Call the "Who am I" endpoint immediately after obtaining a token to confirm it is valid and to identify the token's owner
Known gotchas
OAuth 2.0 is intended for apps used by many Deputy installs/users - Deputy documents it separately from simpler flows meant for single-install integrations
Use the refresh_token to obtain a new access_token before expiry rather than re-running the full authorization flow each time
Validate token validity via "Who am I" before assuming a stored token is still good, since tokens can be revoked independently of their stated expiry
