Hi, I'm trying to set up a connector to Linkedin Ads and I really don't understand what the redirect uri should be. I'm running Airbyte open source on GCP compute engine. There is absolutely no detail in the instructions for what the redirect url is supposed to be. Is it the url of the app i just made on linkedin developer portal? Or do i need to somehow get a url for my google cloud vm? I found this definition on google:
Copy code
A redirect URI, or reply URL, is the location where the authorization server sends the user once the app has been successfully authorized and granted an authorization code or access token
how does that relate to the purpose of this airbyte connector fetching data into a warehouse? what would i be redirecting a user to?
Have found the solution for this, so posting it here for anyone else who finds this in future - in the 'Auth' tab in your app's settings on linkedin, on the right hand side there is a paragraph titled Understanding authentication and OAuth 2.0. In this there is a link to Oauth 2.0 tools, which is where you can generate the access token and refresh token, as well as this it will automatically update your app with the required redirect uri.
