This should be possible, but will take a bit of tinkering with to figure out. Might also be nice to pull out into a dedicated gem/script that can be shared between non-browser tools.

Would love input from people that are smarter than me :bowtie:

The code you linked in hub is a good reference implementation. The process of obtaining the token is straightforward with the exception the dummy POST for 2FA that has a purpose of sending off an SMS, which a GET /authorizations won't do (there was some discussion whether this is an API bug).
