How do I access onedrive in an automated fashion without user interaction?

I am trying to access my own docs & spreadsheets via onedrive's api. I have:

import requests

client_id = 'my_id'
client_secret = 'my_secret'
scopes = 'wl.offline_access%20wl.signin%20wl.basic'
response_type = 'token' # also have tried "code"
redirect_uri = 'https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf'

base_url = 'https://apis.live.net/v5.0/'

r = requests.get('https://login.live.com/oauth20_authorize.srf?client_id=%s&scope=%s&response_type=%s&redirect_uri=%s' % (client_id, scopes, response_type, redirect_uri))
print r.text

(For my client I've also tried both "Mobile or desktop client app:" set to "Yes" and "No")

This will return the html for the user to manually click on. Since the user is me and it's my account how do I access the API without user interaction?

EDIT #1: For those confused on what I'm looking for it would be the equivalent of Google's Service Account (OAuth2): https://console.developers.google.com/project

You cannot "bypass" the user interaction.

However you are very close to getting it to work. If you want to gain an access token in python you have to do it through the browser. You can use the web browser library to open the default web browser. It will look something like this (your app must be a desktop app):

import webbrowser    
webbrowser.open("https://login.live.com/oauth20_authorize.srf?client_id=foo&scope=bar&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf")

This will bring you to the auth page, sign in and agree to the terms (it will differ depending on scope). It will direct you to a page where the url looks like:

https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf?code=<THISISTHECODEYOUWANT>&lc=foo

Copy this code from the browser and have your python script take it as input.

You can then make a request as described here using the code you received from the browser.

You will receive a response described here
