Redirect Uri when Registering App

Question

Hi,&nbsp;I am writing a Python web application which will run locally (on localhost:5000) but needs to access the AccountRight cloud API.&nbsp;What Redirect Uri should I use in that case when registering the app?&nbsp;Thanks,&nbsp;Anthony

Hi&nbsp;Anthony (AnthonyErp)
&nbsp;
Thank you for reaching out,&nbsp; The redirect URI is the location where the authorization server sends the user once the app has been successfully authorized. For example, I use the app Insomnia and have the redirect URI or&nbsp;https://insomnia.rest or when using the Postman app I have set this up to be&nbsp;&nbsp;https://www.getpostman.com/oauth2/callback.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
I hope this helps.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Many Thanks,

Hi Hannah,&nbsp;Thank you for taking the time to reply.&nbsp;Am I right in assuming that if my application is running on localhost:5000 then the redirect_uri should also be localhost:5000?&nbsp;Thanks,&nbsp;Anthony

Hi Anthony AnthonyErp&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Thank you for the update,&nbsp;If you are building a desktop or mobile app and don't have a web service, then use&nbsp;http://desktop&nbsp;as the URI.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Many Thanks,
