chrome extension Oauth callback url

[ASC]

I'm attempting to have users use Oauth2 to authenticate into an web application from a chrome extension but am unable to get the access token from the GET parameters response in my chrome extension. I have provided a callback url of https://<Extension ID>.chromiumapp.org/index.html to the application but this doesn't seem to point to the local chrome extension. Also the application will neither accept chrome-extension://<Extension ID>/index.html as a callback url nor will it allow me to pass a separate redirect_uri GET parameter with the initial request.

In addition, i'm not sure if this will be helpful but the application documentation provides the following instructions for client side authentication:

1. Your app needs to acquire a token for a user, and sends that user to: https://<application>/authorize?client_id={API key}&response_type=token&state={session string}
2. The user authenticates with the application and returns to the redirect URI you set up for your application with the following string appended after a # hashbang: ?access_token={the token}&state={session string}

Have you tried using the Identity API?

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks! For anyone that has a similar issue in the future, I used https://<Extension ID>.chromiumapp.org/index.html as the callback url in the application but the issue I was having is that that url only links to the extension when used in the context of chrome.identity.launchWebAuthFlow.
