Cannot generate an authorization code on API Explorer

77 views Asked by At

I'm trying to collect and download my lifelog user data. The first step into doing this is getting a user-access token. I am encountering problems while requesting authorization.

From the sony developer authenticization page I am told to input the following code into my API explorer:

https://platform.lifelog.sonymobile.com/oauth/2/authorize?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&scope=lifelog.profile.read+lifelog.activities.read+lifelog.locations.read

I am supposed to receive the authorization code as such:

https://YOUR_CALLBACK_URL?code=abcdef

However, this is what the current situation is actually like:

I have replaced my actual client ID below with MY_CLIENT_ID for security reasons

INPUT:

GET /oauth/2/authorize?client_id=MY_CLIENT_ID&scope=lifelog.profile.read%2Blifelog.activities.read%2Blifelog.locations.read HTTP/1.1

Found. Redirecting to https://auth.lifelog.sonymobile.com/oauth/2/authorize?scope=lifelog.profile.read+lifelog.activities.read+lifelog.locations.read&client_id=MY_CLIENT_ID

Nowhere can I see the authorization code in the above code. I even tried copying and pasting the URL (on the last line) into my browser, it says "localhost.com took too long to respond"

This is where I input my request

API explorer page

I am not sure whether it is an issue with the callback URL. I don't have an actual website or app made, I just used the default localhost

I am a beginner in this and would really appreciate all help.
