 * I’m attempting to setup a Powershell script that will create new posts on my 
   self-hosted WordPress blog. I’m attempting to use the WordPress API by having
   the Jetpack plugin installed.
 * I’ve managed to read my posts but when I need to do anything that requires authentication
   I’m struggling. I’ve followed the developer documentation [https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/oauth2/](https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/oauth2/)
   and can get my script all the way to the point where I need to get the code in
   the “[https://developer.wordpress.com/?code=cw9hk1xG9k&#8221](https://developer.wordpress.com/?code=cw9hk1xG9k&#8221);
   URL that I should be getting redirected to.
 * I’m getting hung up on this statement “Once the user has authorized the request…”.
   This is my blog and it only has 1 user. Is there a way I can get around having
   to explicitly authorize a user? The process works if I manually bring up a browser
   and authorize the connection but that defeats the point.
