Auth redirect url
Why does the redirect url after the Authorization process look like "#access_token=IuAX.........". The # at the start prevents my server code from getting the url parameters. Using .request().query...
- That's the OAuth 2 "token" flow, where the access token is returned on the redirect URI fragment. That's meant more for client-side apps. For server-side apps, you should use the "code" flow. You can find more information here:

How would a native mobile client get access to this value?
- Greg-DB
david48 Exactly how this works will depend on your particular scenario. For instance, for a locally running native mobile client, it can use a custom local URL scheme in its redirect URI. The app would register for that local URL scheme, so the redirect would be sent directly to the app (i.e., not a remote web server), where the app can parse the token from the fragment of the URL.
We recommend using one of the official SDKs, if possible, as they do most of the work for you:
