OAuth Redirect URL

You and me both bother! I have scouring this for days yet no one seems to have a really straight forward answer. Maybe you can work better than me with the information I know.

I know I was told you can use http://localhost as your redirect url.

I gave you the oAuth dance here

I need the most basic help

or Thats rig is for Extension development, not for jumping in to the API. Both Discord and Twitch oAuth require YOU to give Discord/Twitch the redirectURL you want to use for token exchange. See Registration: Discord gives you a token to use for your Bot to login, thats if you are making a bot, and set your client to be/have a bot If you want to make a bot then we can discuss that further or check the docs: TMI is essentially IRCv3 compatible IRC over Websockets (or the IRC port…

I was also told you can use this website for the implicit code flow method: Twitch OAuth Token Generator

This website uses it’s own clientID and secret to create a token. You cannot use it, using YOUR clientID

@masterjx9

I tried putting the local host as in my redirect for my app and I tried going to that link and clicking “connect to twitch” but then it brought me over to my IIS and it didn’t give me token! So I don’t know what to do.

As you must write the code to exchange the code for a token (when using OAuth Authorization Code Flow as documented

Authentication

If using implict make sure you set the right data when passing to /authorize

@masterjx9

I know Oauth is used elsewhere but I never had to do this to get the token. For discord, I just clicked on a link that copied my token for me and then I was on the next steps. Here I have no clue what to do.

Again Discord is giving you a bot login token for running a bot, it’s not really a oAuth token

oAuth for implicit is noted here

Hi I found a requirement on the Twitch App site to register an App you need an OAuth Redirect URL. I know what it is but how do I get one? Please, somebody, help me!

If you don’t plan to use oAuth in your App, set it to https://localhost as it should say on the ClientID creator page
