redirect_uri for a website using oAuth

Question

I am working on an android app using the kivy framework , for which I require using the coursera API described here:https://tech.coursera.org/app-platform/oauth2/

The point of consideration is : An example request (with line breaks and spacing for readability):

https://accounts.coursera.org/oauth2/v1/auth?
  response_type=code&
  client_id=ABCDEFGHIJK&
  redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fdemo-app-domain.com%2Fcode&
  scope=view_profile&
  state=csrf_code1234

When I am registering on the coursera developer console , its requiring the redirect uri and I am unable to figure out ? it just says that the sample uri may look like this : https://www.coursera.org/oauth2/callback

Can someone tell me what should I fill in place of the redirect uri ? keeping in mind that I am building android app using kivy platform?

Answer 1

According to the specification (RFC 6749), the value which you use as a value of redirect_uri must be registered in advance. Therefore, in the case of the above example, you need to register:

https://demo-app-domain.com/code

A correct implementation of RFC 6749 rejects an authorization request whose redirect_uri is not registered.
