I want to create a simple desktop application which connects to my account and shows some information in the status bar. I've been trying to authenticate using OAuth2.0 but I'm getting stuck and I cannot see what I´m doing wrong.
The steps I've followed are:
I've registered my application.
Checked the option "Enable Client Side OAuth Flow".
Call:
https://stackexchange.com/oauth?client_id=997&scope=read_inbox,private_info&redirect_uri=https://stackexchange.com/oauth/login_success
I authenticate using my Google account and grant access.
From what I understood after reading the documentation is that I should get a redirect to this URL:
https://stackexchange.com/oauth/login_success
with my token in the query string.
Instead, I'm getting this:
https://stackexchange.com/oauth/login_success?error=unauthorized_client&error_description=This+application+has+been+registered+for+implicit+grants%2c+and+cannot+requests+codes
This is the error message:
This application has been registered for implicit grants, and cannot requests codes
I've tried several scope options with the same result.
What am I doing wrong?
