I'm implementing the OAuth system through StackExchange API, here is the guide.

I've already integrated the OAuth system with stack overflow with the following parameters:

And it works just fine!

My question is: how do I integrate other sites? Where can I find the auth url to pass in the OAuth flow? For example to OAuth to mathematics, this OAuth URL: https://mathematics.com/oauth/access_token/json doesn't work!

What should I use to perform the OAuth flow to other sites like Super User, Stack Apps, Stack Exchange, Mathematics etc...? Where can I find the correct URL?

You already have the correct URL. The access token is valid for all sites, even those for which you don't have an account. The documentation explains how to switch to a different site than Stack Overflow:

Per-Site Methods

Each of these methods operates on a single site at a time, identified by the site parameter. This parameter can be the full domain name (ie. "stackoverflow.com"), or a short form identified by api_site_parameter on the site object.

  • Oh I didn't know that! May I ask: I fetched /me/associated to retrieve the list of channels I'm associated with. And it returns a list. If I perform some actions lets say with StackExchange it works! But If I do it with Super User I receive: "The account associated with the access_token doesn't have a user on the site" even if it is returned from me/associated

  • What I meant was: you can use the same token to e.g. fetch questions from sites you don't have an account on. me/associated doesn't accept a site parameter, because it's a Network Method; These methods return data across the entire Stack Exchange network of sites. Accordingly, you do not pass a site parameter to them.
