How do we get the refresh token through the APIs?

Currently to get the refresh token we need to go to the Shopify Partner login and generate a new refresh token.

Can anyone please let me know how can we get it via postman/api?

There is no way to generate a refresh token through the API. See the guide below on the full steps:

Is this a feature that is upcoming? It seems like it is a security flaw for users of OAuth2 applications to have to trust that the application they’ve authorized is going to have good credential hygiene.

We have a need for generating a refresh token through an API. We need to be rotating credentials every 20 mins. It’s just not feasible to have someone press a button and run a script every 20 mins.
