Wild Card redirect uri
Hi,
Is it possible to use a wild card in a redirect_uri?
We're developing an app that can have multiple sub domains e.g.
User 1 can have a url:
https://testuser1.example.com/app
User 2 ...

10 years agoIf you want to use the implicit flow, your response_type should be set to "token". The client_id should be your app key, and the redirect URI should be some URI where you want the user sent back to after they approve your app to connect to their account. For the implicit a.k.a. token flow, the access token is returned to the redirect URI on the URL fragment.
While in development, you may use localhost, which points to your local machine, to handle the redirect. You may also want to use localhost in general if your app only runs on the client.
There's an OAuth guide here that may be useful:
