localhost error when trying to verify with Google Photos #140

Hello,

I apologize in advance, I am a newbie when it comes to Raspberry Pi...

I am trying to set up a MagicMirror that displays google photos. I have installed everything to the step where it says the followign:

After consent, some code (4/ABCD1234xxxx...) will be appeared. copy it and return to your terminal. paste it for answer of prompt in console.

When I consent, instead of showing me some code, it gives me a cannot be found page that is pointing to localhost on the URL.

It seems that the redirect is to localhost, and dies there.

I searched to see if I could find anything similar however was not able to.

Any help would be appreciated as this is a birthday gift for my mom and hope to get it done in time for that. :)

Hello, nevermind, i found the solution on the other threads. just in case anyone else is looking for the solution it is this: look at the URL and copy EVERYTHING after "code=". I was only copying the first part, not the entire string. Once I did that, it worked. Thank you
