LinkedIn: Invalid redirect URI error

votes

I have created a sample call for LinkedIn authorization as follows:

https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=xxxxxxxx&client_secret=xxxxxxxx&redirect_uri=http://ws-100945:9080/ArtisWeb/index.html&state=9867998869&scope=r_basicprofile

but it is throwing an "Invalid redirect URI" error, I have double-checked the redirect_uri, it is correct one. Can anyone provide guidance?

1. the redirect_uri value should be url-encoded 2. double-check the URL also wrt. "http" vs."https" and port number 3. make sure you use the right client_id - Hans Z.

There are 3 things to check:

  1. the redirect_uri value should be url-encoded
  2. double-check the URL also wrt. "http" vs."https" and port number
  3. make sure you use the right client_id
