Research direction

Start with the linked QuickBooks OAuth documentation and the client's existing get_bearer_token method. The issue names no repository files or tests; first establish whether browserless authorization-code acquisition is supported, then define and verify a concrete solution for server-side clients whose refresh tokens expire.

Description

Hi,

As mentioned here, it seems not possible to automate the way we can get authorization code, before getting access token and refresh token (which is taken into account thanks to get_bearer_token method). This is an issue for browserless, server side solutions interacting with intuit quickbooks API.

Since the refresh token doesn't last more than 1 day (the 100 days was never guaranteed), is there a planned solution for this ? Thanks a lot !
