Get code field in oauth method

I try to authenticate Slack. I will use, oauth, if I can. How can I get the code field which is required for oauth.access?

https://api.slack.com/methods/oauth.access

To be able to test the method, I should fill;

client_id       Required    
client_secret   Required    
code            Required    
redirect_uri    Optional

Alright I get client_id and client_secret from OAuth Information. But where should I get the code field?

Solution

  • The steps of negotiating tokens with OAuth are sequential -- it's not possible to test all of the OAuth API methods in the tester alone, as part of the sequence of events is your server receiving a callback containing that token value you'll need for the oauth.access step.

    The OAuth documentation lays out the steps in order and is probably a better overall reference than the method documentation alone.
