How to get programmatically the oauth token after redirect?

What i am trying to achieve is to get this url server side without another redirection for the client if that makes any sense

Step 1 redirect user to Twitch
Step 2 user accepts or declines the link between clientID and application
Step 3 user returns with a ?code in the URL params (or an error)
Step 4 Obtain the code from the URL and with a curl POST request get a token

What i am not currently able to achieve is to extract the code programmaticaly from the url the user is getting redirected (before the POST request).

This’ll depend on the langauge you are using.

• PHP will be $_GET['code'] https://github.com/BarryCarlyon/twitch_misc/blob/master/authentication/user_access_generator/php/index.php#L32
• nodeJS will be (for express) req.query.code https://github.com/BarryCarlyon/twitch_misc/blob/master/authentication/user_access_generator/nodejs/server.js#L110

This only holds true if you are doing regular user authentication which is my assumption
