Device Flow without any user interaction to obtain Access Token

I working with the following documentation 

 

 

https://v3.developer.constantcontact.com/api_guide/device_flow.html 

 

And I am able to obtain an authorization response just fine however, Step 2 is where I am getting stuck.

 

Step 2: Provide Authentication and Authorization Information to the User

Your application provides the the information the user needs to authenticate their user account and to authorize your application from a device using a web browser, such as a cell phone. How you choose to provide the information is up to you.

You can choose to provide the user with:

  • The URI to use and the code to enter.
  • The QR code to scan to open the URL and the code to enter, or a shortened URL to use that includes the embedded user code.
  • If running natively on a browser-based device, returns the direct verification URI with embedded code.

Once I get the response I can click on the link that provides the code and once I have that I obtain a token however, this is not truly device flow since it is still requiring user interaction. 

 

Is there away to perform step to pragmatically without actual user interaction? I have tried polling the token but it keeps returning authorization_pending until it eventually times out. 

 

I am stuck and would like to know if this is even possible. I have done this with Azure but, well, that's Azure. 

 

Thanks!
