Get Access token without redirect Url or code

I am placing an Order in Clover by calling my Web API controller from my mobile app.

Is there any alternate way to get the access_token, without the "code" value (from navigation URL https://sandbox.dev.clover.com/oauth/authorize?client_id={APP_ID}).

Need access token without asking the user to log in.

How long will the Access token will be valid when generated from redirect url like below

https://www.example.com/oauth_callback?merchant_id={MERCHANT_ID}&client_id={APP_ID}&code={AUTHORIZATION_CODE}

You cannot obtain a token without asking the merchant to login. If you could then any app could have access to any merchant's data without their consent. The tokens are good for one year.

I believe the current lifetime for a token is set at 1 year.
