Zoom API in localhost

API and Webhooks

Hi,

I’m having a hard time authenticating with OAuth in localhost. I have a server running on localhost with an associated domain name. When registering the new app for OAuth access and entering this domain name for redirect URI, I can’t even save that domain name (I assume it’s because it’s not https). I overcome this by entering a _bit.ly _redirect url. I issue a successful request to 

https://zoom.us/oauth/authorize?response\_type=code&client\_id=CLIENT\_ID&redirect\_uri=REDIRECT\_URI

I grant access and am redirected back to my redirect uri, but with no code.

When I replace the redirect uri with a publicly available https website, I get a code back. I assume this is again because of http redirect uri.

What is the proper way to test OAuth on localhost?

Hi Maja, 

A good workaround to test OAuth on your localhost is to use a service that exposes your localhost to the internet such as ngrok.io. Afterwards you can use the ngrok url as the redirect url.

Thanks
