Hi Julian Li,

It's still impossible if you want long term access. You can get access token without browser, but it would be short-lived token (most probably not what you want).

Doesn't matter what you need long term access (refresh token) for, you need least one interaction through the browser. This interaction doesn't need to be implemented in your cronjob, but can be run anywhere, anyhow. Once you get to the refresh token, you can use it into your cronjob (without any further user interactions). 😉 That's it.
