4 years ago What happens when you tell etsy you approve access? Do you get redirected to a 404 page or something like that? If so, that is happening because are you passing a callback_uri to get_request_url_and_token_secret that doesnt exist (your webserver isn't exposing the url as an endpoint).
Unfortunately this library doesn't support manually inputting the verification code at this time. Generally, applications will pass a url for the callback_uri that is owned by their webserver and when the user clicks approve on Etsy's page, Etsy then redirects the user back to your app via the callback_url. You are probably redirecting to a url for and endpoint that currently doesnt exist.
I can add a quick enhancement this weekend that lets you manually enter the callback_uri, but if you just want your oauth tokens to start making requests you can work around this with something like
auth_callback_url = 'https://fakecallback.com'
permission_scopes = ['transactions_r', 'listings_r']
login_url, temp_oauth_token_secret = EtsyOAuthHelper.get_request_url_and_token_secret(api_key, shared_secret, permission_scopes, auth_callback_url)
print(login_url)
# manually navigate to the login_url and tell etsy you approve
# get redirect to fakecallback.com and copy and paste the url into the console
# the next line of code will parse the url you pasted and get the verification code out of it
oauth_token, oauth_token_secret = EtsyOAuthHelper.get_oauth_token(api_key, shared_secret, temp_oauth_token_secret, input('paste: '))
print(oauth_token) # your access_token
print(oauth_token_secret) # your access_token_secret

Hi there. Thanks for your work, very helpful I am learning python (very very basic skills). I try to use the OAuth Helper to get the token Seems like everything works good, but once i allow the app to access my data i am not redirect to the page for the verification code... so i can't terminate the OAuth process.
do you have any suggestions?
thanks v.
