Personal desktop app allowed?

[Mark81]

Hello,

for personal use, I'm interested to develop a Windows desktop app to import data from a third party hardware (input: excel file -> output: fitbit api).

In order to use your API:

I must have an application website?

I must be a company?

I must have a company website?

I must have a domain for the callback URI under SSL?

Thanks for the help.

These are fields that are used in the OAuth 2.0 consent screen. If you are only making an application for yourself, you can put whatever in these fields.

People making personal apps often use their name as the company name and their preferred social network URL for their website.

But must I have a ´callback URL?

May it be, that the App crashes if the site I`ve chosen as a Callback-URL, does not send a response?

@SunsetRunner Yes, callback url is required. I typically use https://localhost as my callback for my test apps.

Hi Andrew, if I was going to create a personal app but host it on heroku so I could access it via a url rather than on my local machine, what would I use for the callback url?

I have been using this on local http://127.0.0.1:8080/ 

thanks for any help!
