This happens when one of your provided fields (e.g. redirect_uri) doesn't match its configuration, for example if you tell td https://localhost but provide http://localhost. Make sure all your fields match.

Got it. That worked. I am wondering if there is a way to do this inside a python file instead of running this from command line. e.g. here is the syntax.

  1. Check if the the access token is not present, then call td.auth.authentication ()
  2. save the contents from the output into a json file .
  3. use this file for the next td.TDClient

I couldnt find a way to run this from the file as the function dosent wait for the browser.
