Degreed | 4 comments I've been looking hard in the existing posts for an answer to this question. I apologize if I missed it elsewhere.

I have the oauth workflow working fine and I'm pulling lists of reviews, etc. I'm currently specifying the oauth callback in my GR account settings. But, this approach makes it really hard to test and develop from an environment (web server) other than the one my customers are using. For example, I've configured (in my GR account) the callback URL to be http://mywebsite.com/oauthcallback, which works for my users. But when i'm developing a new change I need it to temporarily be http://localhost/oauthcallback, which also works. But, obviously when I change it to localhost it breaks any users that are trying to auth at that time.

I was hoping GR would support me setting a relative callback URL in my account settings ("/oauthcallback") or support me sending a specific callback URL in the oauth header when requesting a token but neither of those seem to work.

Am I missing something? How are others handling this problem?

Thanks!
