we are using a third party app which has oAuth 2.0 and we want to post items to our shopify store such as using POST /admin/api/2021-10/products.json .
We are not using our own node.js server, as we are doing it through the app.
How do i obtain the credetials to authenticate using oAuth? I already went through the documentation and still unsure where to go about from here.
It’s asking me for parameters such as Authorization Request URL , client_id, redirect_uri, etc.
On the ebay oauth 2.0, it allows me to get these parameters in production but im unfamilier as how to obtain it from shopify.
Topic summary
A user is trying to use a third-party app that implements OAuth 2.0 to authenticate and post products to a Shopify store using POST /admin/api/2021-10/products.json. They are not running their own Node.js server and want to know how to obtain Shopify OAuth credentials.
The app asks for parameters like Authorization Request URL, client_id, and redirect_uri, but the user is unsure how to get these from Shopify. They note that eBay’s OAuth provides these details in production and seek the equivalent setup for Shopify.
Key terms: OAuth 2.0 (authorization framework), client_id (identifies the app), redirect_uri (callback URL after authorization), Authorization Request URL (the endpoint to initiate the OAuth flow). The user wants to know where Shopify provides or configures these values.
