Google API：了解重定向URI

Question

I want to use Google API to track the number of tweets a particular website (say Rbloggers) make each day. And I am trying to do it in Python.

I am completely new to this. So, I was looking at the hello-analytics-api , in which I need to deal with OAuth 2.0 . And I have no idea what to put down for the redirect URI .

I have read What's a redirect URI? how does it apply to iOS app for OAuth2.0?

But I still don't quite understand the concepts and what I should put down for the 'redirect URI' ?

Answer 1

From Choosing a redirect URI

When you create a client ID in the Google Developers Console, two redirect_uris are created for you: urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob and http://localhost . The value your application uses determines how the authorization code is returned to your application.

In case of desktop apps or programs, you should set it to urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob so that you will be redirected to the page where you can copy the authorization code from internet browser and paste it in your desktop app
