For details regarding OAuth, please reference our [v5 developer docs](https://developers.pinterest.com/docs/v5/#tag/oauth) or [v3 developer docs](https://developers.pinterest.com/docs/redoc/#section/User-Authorization). The code in this repo demonstrates how to initiate the flow by starting a browser, and then handling the OAuth redirect to the development machine (localhost). The browser is used to obtain an authorization code, and then the code invoked by the redirect exchanges the authorization code for an access token.
