what IS the redirect_uri for a client

[Bob Purvy]

I have a rather basic question:  can I experiment with the API from a browser on a client machine, i.e. not a web server?

If so, how?

I registered a Consumer with an empty redirect_uri, because I didn't know what to put there.  Then in the browser's URL bar, I entered this and got Invalid Authorization request:

https://secure.meetup.com/oauth2/authorize

    ?client_id=<the key sent back by Register Consumer>

    &response_type=token

so what am I doing wrong?

Hi Bob,

We allow for oauth consumers without redirect uris because oauth1 flows do not require it. For oauth 2, there is an explicit requirement for knowing where to send a meetup member after they've authorized your app. This is part of the oauth2 protocol. This with my the url for your server for where to sent the member after meetup.com confirms their authorization.
