What should the redirect uri be? about instagramkit HOT 5 CLOSED

Just tried it, worked perfectly. Thank you very much! It might be somewhat beneficial to say something about that on the readme, save somebody an hour or two of time.

What do you mean by app hook?

When the user successfully authenticates, Instagram triggers the callback URL (which you define under your app's URL Schemes).

That in turn triggers the post authentication method in InstagramKit which stores the credentials passed by Instagram.

App hook meaning the custom url type thing that apps can register, i.e. instagram://app to open the app.

I guess what I am really asking is, What do you put as the OAuth redirect_uri when creating a client on the Instagram Developer site?

So I have to have a callback url in both instagram's side, as well as InstagramKitAppRedirectURL in InstagramKit's config, but where do I get this address? Do I need to host some sort of authentication server to "relay" the messages? That seems a bit overkill... I feel like I might be over complicating this

There is no need for any server. The auth url can be as simple as "yourappname://myauthroute" and Instagram will call that URL. If you have set the parameters on InstagramKit correctly, it'll automatically take over the authentication bit.

Oh! So they just need to be identical, and InstagramKit just looks for the url with the access token and gets it from there?
