linkedin : Invalid redirect_uri. This value must match a URL registered with the API Key

Question

I am using 'omniauth-linkedin-oauth2'.

When I am login with linkedin then I am getting this error

Invalid redirect_uri. This value must match a URL registered with the API Key.

This is my settings:

Solution 1

Went back to LinkedIn developer site (https://www.linkedin.com/secure/developer ) to check my setting again. Everything matches API Key, Secret Key and OAuth 2.0 Redirect URLs.

Searched web looking for some clues. Couldn’t find a one.
Crazy issue:

Then I saw that in the URL Owin was appending some extra string to the redirect_uri “signin-linkedin”.
When I decoded the URL I saw this http://localhost:54307/signin-linkedin .
I took this URL and placed it in the OAuth 2.0 Redirect URLs field in the LinkedIn developer site.

Solution 2

please check your redirect_url. for my case I see like this.

https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=77k93y0w31zaey&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A1729%2Fsignin-linkedin&scope=r_basicprofile%2Cr_emailaddress&state=nhAC-nR-CgEwO3XS2ezANhuPBMz-IUmLPJYgGHlZvZ8B1pCfsGBU0PR0dZ5XxE4zbyeI0RLcKByqPLKkgQdqMm4s6DjFYqMCEehYA2iWT9MfioEHjPXGCt2USxUTF0wKBpflCUjG5URVlJa3qI7U3ydFOErZ4Hhnr9SVmKdf1bithYfbOqBx345o8LQLexbddQ687vP6y0szrIyCM6FHip1tCpOY3Hgg5FJQEFH1mCJ_yLunD5vDUN4VVfkQbcjk

for this I add the url for OAuth 2.0 Authorized Redirect URLs:

http://localhost:1729/signin-linkedin

where http://localhost:1729 =base url and
signin-linkedin = the string which add after base url

Solution 3

You can just look in url that you are getting that error message on.

eg. if you are using python's social auth the url would look like this:

https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/authorization?scope=r_basicprofile+r_emailaddress&state=XXXXXX&redirect_uri=http://example.com.au/sa/complete/linkedin-oauth2/&response_type=code&client_id=YYYYYYY

so you would use this part of the above url for the redirect url

http://example.com/sa/complete/linkedin-oauth2/

One more solution is to just verify the client_id you've been using the whole time..because with every update in the list of redirect_uri, the client_id gets updated.

Api key and value, set properly?

title says twitter?

Redirect URL should probably be http://localhost:3000/auth/linkedin/callback - this is how OmniAuth strategies work. Then you should open up your site as http://localhost:3000 and try to authenticate.

@bodrovis bro saved my time :). But incase of facebook gem 'omniauth-facebook' redirect_uri localhost:3000 is working fine.

LinkedIn OAuth 2.0 issue – Invalid redirect_uri. This value must match a URL registered with the API Key. Please see if this helps.

Solution in my case: press update after adding the URLs :)

hello @Dipak Panchal time to choose an ans ;)

[zinczinc]

Adding "signin-linkedin" at the end of the uri like this: example.com/signin-linkedin worked for me!

i resolved that error, but can you tell me how to open that login screen inside browser instead of opening in network tab? i'm facing very strange problem, screen is being opening in network tab instead of opening in browser

[Dr. MAF]

Excellent. Thanks.

Thanks worked for me. Whenever you change redirect_uri clientid changes so don't forget to copy new client id. Thanks for helping
