Hi to all,
Could someone please let me know if it is possible to test the API (with oauth) from a local machine I cannot believe that Yahoo restricts access to their API only from the domain toy enter when getting the API key. OK, I understand that for security reasons, it's good, but how on earth are we supposed to develop the thing. How did you all do it? Thanks |

Hi Vel,
Are you creating an OAuth or an Open application from the dashboard? Unfortunately, as you have already seen, you cannot create an application with a non-public, local URL. If you are creating an OAuth application have you tried making a desktop application instead of a web application? The OAuth flow will not forward you back to the application but you should be able to bypass the URL authentication that way. - Jon |
