    Hi Anthony (AnthonyErp)

     

    Thank you for reaching out,  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 https://insomnia.rest or when using the Postman app I have set this up to be  https://www.getpostman.com/oauth2/callback. 

     

    I hope this helps. 

     

    Many Thanks,

Hi Hannah,

 

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

 

Am I right in assuming that if my application is running on localhost:5000 then the redirect_uri should also be localhost:5000?

 

Thanks,

 

Anthony

    Hi Anthony AnthonyErp 

     

    Thank you for the update, If you are building a desktop or mobile app and don't have a web service, then use http://desktop as the URI. 

     

    Many Thanks,
