Close the window\tab once CherryPy server accepted authentication response

[brandonmichaelhunter]

Is there a way to automatically close the new window or tab that opens the authorization from fitbit
threading.Timer(1, webbrowser.open, args=(url,)).start()

I would like to close the browser after cherrypy.quickstart(self) to close the window or tab

@brandonmichaelhunter I don't think it is possible with webbrowser.open but it may be possible using something like cefpython this is a great task for a community member to contribute. A PR would be most welcome

This really should be an option, although it would mean switching from webbrowser to a more flexible module like Selenium if I'm not mistaken.

It is a bit hard to read, but if you dive into api.py there's actually a bit of a workaround through trying to use old access & refresh tokens. For example, I download my sleep log daily and use the following code to try the old tokens and refresh them if they don't' work.

	fb_keys = load_json("keys.json")
	auth2_client = fitbit.Fitbit(
				fb_keys['CLIENT_ID'],
				fb_keys['CLIENT_SECRET'],
				access_token = fb_keys['access_token'],
				refresh_token = fb_keys['refresh_token'],
				expires_at = math.floor(fb_keys['expires_at']),
				redirect_uri = 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/' 
				)
	try:	#Try to use old tokens
		data = auth2_client.get_sleep(date=last_datetime)['summary']
	except Exception as e:
		auth2_client = OAuth2Server(fb_keys['CLIENT_ID'],fb_keys['CLIENT_SECRET'])
		auth2_client.browser_authorize()

		tokens = auth2_client.fitbit.client.session.token
		fb_keys['access_token'] = tokens['access_token']
		fb_keys['refresh_token'] = tokens['refresh_token']
		fb_keys['expires_at'] = tokens['expires_at']
		
		dump_json("keys.json",fb_keys)	 	

Note: the expires_at that is returned is a Unix Timestamp, but the fitbit wrapper only accepts integer values.

Also the default expiry time of the token is pretty short so it isn't all too useful anyways. I modified the API to pass the expires_in parameter to the authorization page, but didn't see any change in the final expiry date :(

Edit for like the billionth time: Looks like this wrapper uses the Authorization code grant flow, not the implicit flow, so the expires_in paramter can't be used. Guess I'll have to figure out how to use the refresher.
