... When creating Google API if anyone gets an error like this "Invalid Redirect URI". So below I will be posting my solution also that helped me and will save your time.
Trying to find out the mystery about redirect uris myself too but as far as i know you must save the redirect uri you are using in your app into the settings of the api console. Select your project and then clik on the crdentials on the left bar. Yo ucan't miss it

I am attempting to build a webapp using Vue for the frontend and Flask for the backend that reads in the users Gmail emails.
Desired functionality:
User clicks a button to "Link Gmail Account" on the frontend
User is authenticated with gmail Oauth2 and confirms. Once confirmed, they redirect back to the page they were on
Once the user confirms, the backend queries gmail to get all of the users emails and returns the data to the frontend
I have been trying to use https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/quickstart/python as a starting point, but I cannot authenticate the user -- I keep getting a redirect uri mistmatch error with a random port (I am doing this locally so have set the redirect uri to be the localhost port where I access my project).
I think I am doing something fundamentally wrong or not using the Gmail API in the correct way, but have searched all over google and youtube to no avail.
Specific things that I think could be causing an issue:
What is the best overall strategy to implement this? Should I use the Gmail API in Python or Javascript? Right now, the use clicks the "Link Account" button which calls an API in my backend which then runs the code in the Python Quickstart guide.
What kind of google project should I set up? I currently have my credentials configured for a "web application"
What should I put as the redirect uri? I am using localhost but am unsure exactly what to put here (I have tried http://localhost, http://localhost:5000, http://localhost:5000/, http://localhost:5000/emails [this is the url I want them to return to]). No matter what I put, I keep getting a redirect uri mismatch and it says the uri it is looking for is http://localhost:[random port]/
I would appreciate any help on how to approach achieving this. Thank you!
Depending on what you are going to use Gmail API for, you must select the device or category. In your case, as it is a website it should be set to "Web Application".
Also, you should be using the following redirect URI: http://localhost/emails/. You should not include the port number and you should be using trailing slashes (adding the last / at the end). Note that the redirect URI you set up in your backend must be an exact match of the one you have set up in your Credentials Page. Also please note that it might take some minutes to update this URI.
Moreover, this is a guide on how to create a Sign In button that will authorise your users that I believe will be useful for you.
Currently, I'm trying to integrate the OneDrive SDK onto a website. However, I'm having issue with redirecting with authentication.
Normal route:
User goes to the website. It clicks on a button to single sign onto there OneDrive
User gets redirected to OneDrive Authorization page.
Once authentication, user gets redirected to where they left off. This redirect is specified in the OneDrive's SDK account. However, it seems that they don't allow query params in the redirect URL.
Is there a way around this?
The only thing I could figure out is using a URL that is an alias for the URL with the query params, but that just seems like a hack solution. It's hard to believe that there isn't a way for a user to redirect with query params to indicate at what stage they left off on the site.
Example of invalid redirect url as http://skydpk.com/index.php?a=ap&addon=file_sharing&page=skydrive
Any advice appreciated,
Thanks,

You can try registering your base URL as the redirect URL and just before initiating authorization action append the parameters to the redirect URL.
Redirect URL at one drive app dashboard : http://skydpk.com/index.php
Authorization URL
https://login.live.com/oauth20_authorize.srf?client_id=<your client id>&scope=<scope>&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://skydpk.com/index.php?a=ap&addon=file_sharing&page=skydrive
I've been looking for this answer and the other pages didn't help me.
I'm trying to use the google drive api for php. I am trying to test on my local environment and receive this error.
Error: redirect_uri_mismatch
The redirect URI in the request: urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob did not match a registered redirect URI
Request Details

Here is the page for the api:
The url is in

What am I doing wrong?
Looks like the current Google OAuth2 integration requires enabling
Contacts API
Google+ API
from the Google Developers Console for the associated Project. In my log I noticed errors liek 403, Access Not Configured. Please use ....
The redirect URI (where the response is returned to) has to be correct and exactly as you registered in the APIs console, and the error is indicating that you haven't done that or you haven't done it correctly.
To get the redirect URI from console:
Go to the console for your project and look under API Access.
Open Credentials section (in left side)
You should see your client ID & secret there, along with there is a
list of redirect URIs. If you want to change it or it was wrong,
click edit settings and modify.
Even if your redirect uri is properly set in the console, a lot of times, when you've recently changed settings in the google dev console, it will still tell you there's a redirect mismatch. It's a surprisingly common occurrence.
You can try...
Waiting; some have had luck with this, indicating that google takes some amount of time to register recent changes.
If you don't mind reconfiguring your app, creating a new client id in the google dev console tends to fix this problem with consistent results.
in my android application I want to use google places API. I logon to code.google.com/apis/console. When I'm trying to enabling access to places API it asks for Company url and organization. I don't have any website, So how do I use it?
I asked my friends, and give their url and name. Now it will show error message as Invalid website url. Please help me to enable the places API service
Not sure if you still care, but you probably just left out "http://" before the URL. This causes it to say "invalid website URL". Very annoying, I know.
The problem is in the URL. I omit the "http://" before the URL. Now it solved my issue
So I finally got a link in my facebook post using the properties parameters. I thought I could put my url scheme in there. But unfortunately it says it isn't a valid url, which makes sense. So I searched again for another solution. But everyone seems to be talking about fb:// and not their own app url scheme.
So I created this thread, hope somebody can help me.
Try using bit.ly (or some other URL shortener).
The last time I tried, bit.ly accepted any URI schema and just did a redirect. I've successfully used this in the past to work around inputs that expected either an HTTP or HTTPS schema.
Additionally, similar logic could be done on your own server if you prefer. Simply share a link to your own server on Facebook, and have your server side script do a 301 to whatever App specific URI you have.
