Can't get Oauth token. Invalid redirect_uri

[vid.vranjek]

Hi,

I am trying to get an oath token by following  instructions here:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/oauth-on-bitbucket-cloud-238027431.html

and here:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Bitbucket-questions/hot-to-git-clone-with-oauth-how-to-create-token-for-this-kind-of/qaq-p/686446#M21947

I always get to the point, where I have to enter my consumer key (which I successfully generated) in

https://bitbucket.org/site/oauth2/authorize?client_id={key}&response_type=token

Is follows (don't worry, I am doing this with a throw away repo): 

https://bitbucket.org/site/oauth2/authorize?client_id=mcmg4fzgQaMgADxQG5&response_type=token

And I get an error message 'Invalid redirect_uri'. And now, an hour later, I get now response at all, just a white page.

Am I doing something wrong or is there something wrong with bitbucket?

Why can't I just generate a token using a user interface, like on github?

Thanks for your help!

Hi @vid.vranjek,

It looks like the OAuth consumer you created lacks the callback URL which is required for OAuth2. This is why you're getting an error about redirect URL.

don't worry, I am doing this with a throw away repo

Just a heads up, OAuth tokens are currently scoped not to a repository but to an account. Consumer ID on its own is useless though, so no things to worry about here.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Daniil
