Is it impossible to do an open-source CLI tool that connects to an OAuth2 API without either exposing the app key or hosting a service just to do key exchange stuff?

Generally yes. You could ask the user to get their own API keys though. You could also register the app as a "public client" so that you never get a secret, then it's okay to put the client_id in the app. (Only some APIs let you do this tho)

  The best I’ve come up with is to do an AWS Lambda function to host the app key and do the handshake.
