Testing environment

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.
