confusion regarding the masher vs desktop programming

using the api reference "try it" mechanism, i have some success, and am trying to emulate it using a desktop application written in Python. When i test an endpoint it appears it will work one of the two choices ( signout or Oauth ). How do i interpret this on the desktop, that one needs oauth authorization ( and what does that imply -> some process of tokenizing ?) and the signout choice interpretation what does that mean as well? ( that ai need a header with a Bearer and a token? Or does it all mean nothing in terms of what i am trying to do? basically i need two calls, one to get the campaign id ( for which i want to use the Collection Email Campaign report end point, and then for each of the campaign_ids returned, use the get email link report.

I am now trying to use the device flow, and believe that somehow that will do what i need, but am not at all sure that is correct way to go. in trying to follow the documentation, for these different calls, how to construct the headers and what substitutions need to be made for each of them, i think there are seven? I've tried a few times in email with snapshots, but yet to be able to connect . thanks in advance
