Invalid redirect_uri expected string got undefined

Hi everyone, new person here.

I can’t quite figure as to why I keep getting a redirect uri error. I tried the localhost example from the documentation and it worked fine, but deploying to my cloud app has been a tricky. Tried googling and found one other article that seemed related, but to no avail. Also took a look at the API documentation for that specific method and used the inspect module to maybe get more info. I’m at a loss haha. Anything glaring anyone seeing?

Reference - Invalid_request: Invalid redirect_uri. Expected type 'string' but found type undefined

Hi @hauscloud and welcome to the Community! :tada:

Would you mind linking the documentation you were looking at when you set up this application? I’d also like to confirm you’ve added the callback http://hauscloud.me/app/gratitude_journal/callback to your Allowed Callback URLs for your application? Additionally have you looked over this doc on redirecting users after login authentication?

Once I have a better idea of the specific documentation or SDK you’ve referenced I may be able to offer some more guidance and have a better idea of what you’re looking to achieve.

All the best,
Colin

Hi Colin,

Thanks for the reply. I figured it out after a bit more testing and reading the docs.

Hey there @HausCloud!

Great to hear that. Can you share for the benefit of others how you solved it? Thanks!

Hi @HausCloud,

I am also having the same issue. I cloned the example from https://github.com/auth0-samples/auth0-python-web-app, and modified the client id, domain, client secret and callback url in the .env file. In the Auth0 application settings, I added the

http://localhost:3000/callback

in Allowed Callback URLs and

http://localhost:3000

in Allowed Logout URLs.

Once I run the server and login via my gmail, I get the invalid redirect_uri message.

Any ideas?

Regards
Paul

Hi paul2020nz,

Double check that your callback and logout are the same. I originally just had a typo, but now I believe the issue is that my website is not using https and it fails randomly. The issue has not be resolved according the post below:

If anyone has any idea if there is a workaround or https is a hard requirement for it to work 100% of the time (which is kind of inconvenient).
