Schwab OAuth2 in a Desktop App

Demonstrates how to get a Charles Schwab OAuth2 access token from a desktop application or script. Dart

  // repeatedly refreshed without user interaction, as shown in this example: Refresh Schwab OAuth2 Access Token.

  // to receive and forward the redirect to localhost.

  // 4: Access Denied – OAuth2 flow completed, the background thread exited, and the error response is in AccessTokenResponse.
  // 5: Failure – OAuth2 flow failed before completion, the background thread exited, and error details are in FailureInfo.
