Desktop applications only support the oauth_callback value 'oob'/oauth/request_token

Provide a callback URL in the field that asks for one in your application record – it doesn’t have to be the callback URL actually used in the auth sequence, but until a value is in that field your API key will be “protected” from callback usage.

Thank you so much. I just put a random URL in my app settings and it works perfectly now.

Placeholder in the callback url worked for me too! Thanks!

thanks @episod

Problem solved, thanks.
But, what is the ‘call_back URL’ used for? Since it can be any legal URL

tomasdev · 2012-09-21T03:37:54.000Z

You are awesome. Thanks!

Is not a simplification if you got a put a fake callback url (or placeholder) just so it accepts dynamic callbacks. They could do a better job explaining this.

great!

xlqa2 · 2012-11-23T17:13:49.000Z

crowdlot · 2013-08-13T06:19:46.000Z

can you please say how to write a placeholder in a call back url

sandeepkkothari · 2013-08-21T08:36:29.000Z

set callback url to ‘oob’

LackeySoft · 2013-09-05T20:19:58.000Z

You ended my 45-minute search for a solution to this… (I should have noticed I didn’t have the callback URL defined as I had in another app… duh) THANK YOU… THANK YOU… THANK YOU…!
