How to Handle the Redirect URI for OAuth Sign-In Using Python in Pipedream?

This topic was automatically generated from Slack. You can find the original thread here.

Hi everyone. I’m trying to add a Python block that will sign into a service using OAuth and send some get requests. But I’m confused about how to handle the redirect URI, where do I get that from for Pipedream?

Hi , which service are you connecting to?

It’s a UK company called Reapit

Thanks, Pipedream handles integrated apps OAuth tokens and refreshes so you don’t need to — you can request the integration at https://pipedream.com/support → Submit a support ticket → Request an integration

Is there a way to do it manually? I think that requesting Pipedream to do it would take a long time

I can assure you it’s usually pretty quick

But you can try asking :

In Pipedream, the OAuth process is handled by the platform itself, so you don’t need to manually handle the redirect URI. However, if you want to manually handle OAuth in a Python code step, you would typically need to set up a server to handle the redirect URI, which is not directly supported in Pipedream workflows. If you’re trying to connect to a service that isn’t currently integrated with Pipedream, you can request an integration at https://pipedream.com/support → Submit a support ticket → Request an integration. This way, Pipedream can handle the OAuth process for you. If you still want to proceed with manual handling, you might need to use a different platform that supports running a server, or use a service that can receive the redirect and forward the code or token to your Pipedream workflow.

I was looking for something that could be ready by Monday. Do you think that’s feasible?

Today is a holiday in the US.
I can’t give an ETA, but if Reapit follows the usual OAuth 2.0 flows, I believe it can get integrated in a couple of days

11

I’m looking at the Reapit documentation, would Client credentials flow work for you in the meantime?

12

I think so, would that be supported in Pipedream?

13

Yes, you can use import requests or any other Pypi packages in a Python code step

14

Just make sure to keep the original code scaffolding, i.e.:

import requests

def handler(pd: "pipedream"):
    # Reference data from previous steps
    print(pd.steps["trigger"]["context"]["id"])

    response = [requests.post](http://requests.post)() # your config here

    # Return data for use in future steps
    return {"foo": {"test": True}}
15

You can edit anything under the handler function

Ok, that might do for the time being. Thanks for your help Andrew.

I just published a client credentials version of this app integration: https://pipedream.com/apps/reapit-foundations/.

Ideally I’d like to modify the integration to use authorization_code grant type, but this was the faster route to get you unblocked — can you let me know if this works for you in the interim?

Oops I see the error you just encountered — please try again :slightly_smiling_face:

Sorry, a couple more fixes
