Python - Getting url a browser was redirected to

Question

I am trying to authenticate an application with the API.
Here\'s How:

1. I am opening a URL using webbrowser.open.
2. The user authenticates

Answer 1

After the user authenticates with stack exchange, the SE page will redirect back to your page ("redirect_uri" below). Your code currently redirects to https://stackexchange.com/oauth/login_success ; instead, you should redirect to a page you control.

1. Open a new window at https://stackexchange.com/oauth/dialog, with these query string parameters
   • client_id
   • scope
   • redirect_uri
   • state - optional
2. The user approves your app
3. The user is redirected to redirect_uri, with these parameters in the hash
   • access_token
   • expires - optional, only if scope doesn't contain no_expiry
