Meetup API on localhost

[cumulata]

Hi guys,

I wanna use the meetup API, but I can't find correct information about the OAuth Consumer.
I'm working on local, so, I access to my website with this url : http://localhost:3000/

What I need to set there :
Website : ???
Redirect URI : ???

Thanks guys !

Hi Cumulata,

Sorry for the late response. When you create an oauth consumer at http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/oauth_consumers/create/ the only required field is the name.

If you are using oauth 1,  the name is the only info you need to provide for us. If you are using oauth 2, then you need to also provide your redirect uri. That would be  http://localhost:3000/ in your case. The website is a url is optional. We use that to generate a link on the oauth permission view that users see with granting access and on the apps page at http://www.meetup.com/account/oauth_apps/. It's completely optional but we encourage you do so to provide more info to the user authorizing your app about who you are to provide an extra level of trust.

You can edit this information at anytime but clicking the "Edit details" link on your own oauth consumer listing under http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/oauth_consumers/. This enables you to change your redirect_uri if you want to keep the same consumer in dev and then when you go live.

Let me know if that helps.

Hi Angel,

This sounds like a bug on our end. Do you see this error when creating a new consumer or editing an existing consumer?

Hi Doug, do you have an update on this issue?  

My issue is very similar to this.  I, too, am trying to redirect back to localhost using the meetup oauth2 api.  When I change the callbackURL to 'http://www.amazon.com', both in my app and on meetup, it works just fine.  But when i change the callbackURL to 'http://localhost:5000/authenticate/callback', I get this ugly error from node:

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED

    at OAuth2Strategy._createOAuthError (/Users/hnguyen/projects/LocalLearners/node_modules/passport-oauth/node_modules/passport-oauth2/lib/strategy.js:348:17)

    at net.js:440:14

    at process._tickCallback (node.js:419:13)

Some possibility relevant information:

- Tried using 127.0.0.1, no dice.

- Using node.js with the passport module

- I am new to implementing oauth2

Any thoughts would help, thank you!
