  scopes: 'read write chat'
})}`;

console.log('open', oauthUrl); // open the url in your browser, then you should obtain a ZENDESK_KEY

/*
// that can later be used:

await fetch('https://www.zopim.com/api/v2/chats', {
    headers: {
        'Authorization': `Basic ${Buffer.from(`dude@company.com/token:${ZENDESK_KEY}`).toString('base64')}`,
    }
});

*/
