Getting OAuth code when Redirect is http://desktop
Hi,
First time MYOB API user, long time MS-Access developer. I am trying to write a simple app that uploads transactions to MYOB after importing them from a POS application.
I have read a lot of documentation here recently but I have hit a snag. Reading through the Authentication page (here), I get along swimmingly, but then I get to this:
"Once the User has authorised your app to access their company files they will be returned to your REDIRECT URL with a ?code= in the URL. You use this code for the next step."
How do I get this code? Where does this ?code= go when the redirect URL is http://desktop ?? I get no error messages, no warnings, no new windows... nothing happens at all. I also have no .ResponseText.
I can put the URL (https://secure.myob.com/oauth2/account/authorize?client_id=etc) into a web browser and it asks for authority but then I get a blank page as a response as soon as I "allow access".
I'm probably missing something painfully obvious to others...
Sub TestConnection() Dim objRequest As Object Dim strUrl As String Dim strResponse As String Set objRequest = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP") strUrl = "https://secure.myob.com/oauth2/account/authorize?client_id=MYAPIKEY&redirect_uri=http://desktop&response_type=code&scope=CompanyFile" With objRequest .Open "GET", strUrl, True ' <-async - if false, access is denied. .SetRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/json" .Send strResponse = .ResponseText End With
Debug.Print strResponse End Sub
