3. Create a .env file that contains the following variables that will be used when running the examples. Only some of these variables may actually be needed to run a particular script. Check the specific example comments on more specific requirements (e.g. required scopes for the access token).

ACCESS_TOKEN="your_valid_access_token"
CLIENT_ID="your_app_client_id"
CLIENT_SECRET="your_app_client_secret"
OAUTH2_REDIRECT_URL="your_app_oauth2_redirect_url"

4. Execute the desired example script: npx ts-node {script filename}. For example: npx ts-node get-profile.ts
