Getting API Keys

alanzano

Hi I'm on the "Requesting a temporary token" step in the developer's guide.

When I entered my client details I put "https://localhost" for both my "Redirect URI" and "Website."

Then I went here with my generated client id "https://cloud.lightspeedapp.com/oauth/authorize.php?response_type=code&client_id={client_id}&scope=employee:all"

When I click "Authorize Application" the website is invalid.

How can I get past this step and how can I get API keys?

Hi @alanzano,

Thank you for contacting us. What do you mean by the website is invalid?

After authorizing your application, are you seeing something like this?

http://{redirect_uri}?code={temporary token}

Please show me what you are doing with some screenshots?

Hi, thanks for the reply! I'm getting the following page:

LucienVersendaal

Can you show me your URL?

alanzano

It's this with my client id in place of "{client_id}"

https://cloud.lightspeedapp.com/oauth/authorize.php?response_type=code&client_id={client_id}&scope=employee:all

Would it be better if we got on a call?

LucienVersendaal

Can you show me the URL after you've authorized your application?

alanzano

Sorry for the delay, the url from that web page is:

https://localhost/?code=add8a62e7bf75ae6e8acbbe50da72e1e37ef00f1

Hey, you'll need to regenerate that token (as it expires every 30 seconds) and then make a access token request:

This will furnish you with a refresh token and access token
