Use of pcloud API using access token

Question

I'm currently studying the pCloud API and have a couple of specific questions regarding its usage:

Q1.

Use the userinfo API with your access token and you'll get an instant response.

import requests

account_url = "https://api.pcloud.com/userinfo"

access_token ="ACCESS TOKEN"

response = requests.get(account_url, headers={ "Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}", })your text

account_info = response.json() print(account_info)

However, if you use listtokens API instead of userinfo API, you will receive {'result': 1000, 'error': 'Log in required.'} response.

Is there a way to use the listtokens API using an access token?

I know that I can use authentication token as below. (https://api.pcloud.com/listtokens?auth={Authentication token})

Q2.

Or is there a way to obtain an authentication token using an access token? (other than using passworddigest)

I contacted the pcloud support team and was told to only look at docs.pcloud.com

Answer 1

Answer 1: It is unfortunately impossible to use the listtokens-endpoint with the OAuth2 authentication method. It is only possible with the username/password-authentication method. See the discussion here https://github.com/tomgross/pcloud/issues/61

Answer 2: Look at the authentication methods implemented in the pcloud python api (https://github.com/tomgross/pcloud/blob/master/src/pcloud/api.py#L100). It implements all authentication methods. For the OAuth-flow you will need a browser, which can be headless.
