# OAuth Fallback Token Retrieval After signup completes (profile form submitted), the browser is logged in but the device auth CLI may not have received the callback. The reliable fallback: ## Flow 1. `subprocess.run([grok_exe, "logout"], capture_output=True, timeout=10)` — clear old auth 2. `subprocess.Popen([grok_exe, "login", "--oauth"], ...)` — start OAuth flow 3. Parse OAuth URL from CLI output: `re.search(r'(https://auth\.x\.ai/oauth2/authorize\?\S+)', line)` 4. `page.goto(oauth_url)` — navigate browser to OAuth URL 5. If browser is logged in → auto-redirects to `127.0.0.1:XXXXX/callback?...` 6. If not logged in → try clicking "Continue" or "Allow" buttons 7. `proc.communicate(timeout=30)` — wait for CLI to finish 8. Check `auth.json` for any key with `access_token` ## Code ```python subprocess.run([GROK_EXE, "logout"], capture_output=True, timeout=10) proc = subprocess.Popen([GROK_EXE, "login", "--oauth"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, text=True, bufsize=1) oauth_url = None for line in iter(proc.stdout.readline, ''): if not line and proc.poll() is not None: break m = re.search(r'(https://auth\.x\.ai/oauth2/authorize\?\S+)', line) if m: oauth_url = m.group(1); break if oauth_url: await page.goto(oauth_url, timeout=15000) await page.wait_for_timeout(5000) for w in range(15): if "127.0.0.1" in page.url or "localhost" in page.url: break btn = page.locator("button:has-text('Continue'), button:has-text('Allow')").first if await btn.count() > 0: await btn.click() await page.wait_for_timeout(2000) proc.communicate(timeout=30) auth = json.load(open(AUTH_JSON)) for key in auth: tok = auth[key].get("access_token") or auth[key].get("key", "") if tok: return tok ``` ## Why It Works The OAuth flow is simpler than device auth: the CLI prints an OAuth URL, the browser opens it, and since the browser is already logged in, it auto-redirects to localhost with the authorization code. The CLI picks up the redirect and writes the token to `auth.json`.
