Having issues getting firebase data through Oauth pin-auth session for Nest

Question

Base script:

from sanction import Client
# client_id & client_secret are omitted but are valid

client_pin = input('Enter PIN:')

access_token_url = 'https://api.home.nest.com/oauth2/access_token'

c = Client(
    token_endpoint=access_token_url,
    client_id=client_id,
    client_secret=client_secret)

c.request_token(code = client_pin)

[See edits for history]

Running c.request('/devices') returned:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\py\nest_testing_sanction.py", line 36, in <module>
    c.request("/devices")
  File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\sanction-0.4.1-py3.4.egg\sanction\__init__.py", line 169, in request
  File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\sanction-0.4.1-py3.4.egg\sanction\__init__.py", line 211, in transport_query
  File "C:\Python34\lib\urllib\request.py", line 258, in __init__
    self.full_url = url
  File "C:\Python34\lib\urllib\request.py", line 284, in full_url
    self._parse()
  File "C:\Python34\lib\urllib\request.py", line 313, in _parse
    raise ValueError("unknown url type: %r" % self.full_url)
ValueError: unknown url type: 'None/devices?access_token=c.[some long session token]'

Given the output it seems like I need to be putting in a generic URL so I tried c.request('wss://developer-api.nest.com'):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\py\nest_testing_sanction.py", line 36, in <module>
    data = c.request(query_url)
  File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\sanction-0.4.1-py3.4.egg\sanction\__init__.py", line 171, in request
  File "C:\Python34\lib\urllib\request.py", line 153, in urlopen
    return opener.open(url, data, timeout)
  File "C:\Python34\lib\urllib\request.py", line 455, in open
    response = self._open(req, data)
  File "C:\Python34\lib\urllib\request.py", line 478, in _open
    'unknown_open', req)
  File "C:\Python34\lib\urllib\request.py", line 433, in _call_chain
    result = func(*args)
  File "C:\Python34\lib\urllib\request.py", line 1257, in unknown_open
    raise URLError('unknown url type: %s' % type)
urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error unknown url type: nonewss>

I also tried https as per:

- same result

By contrast, this works (for a firebase.io virtual device):

firebase = firebase.FirebaseApplication('https://nesttest.firebaseio.com', None)
thermostat_result       = firebase.get('/devices', 'thermostats')

This is more of a comment, but the system does not let me comment just yet.

To your question about where to put the web pin simply add code = pin to the request_token call.

c.request_token(code = nest_client_pin)

This still does not fully solve the issue as I can only use a PIN once. After I have used it once, every subsequent call will fail again as you describe. Still researching that.
