Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Constant Contact API Support.

The redirect URI is used to authenticate the application with Constant Contact, so the value that you give us when making an authorization call needs to match what is stored for the application in your Mashery developer application. 

When you initially create an application, the redirect URI by default is set to http://localhost but if you wish to use http://127.0.0.1 you will need to edit your application in Mashery and update your redirect URI. Here is a link on where to go to do this: https://constantcontact.mashery.com/apps/myapps

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Sincerely,

Hi @user05212,

If you are redirecting to your IP address then the process will open a tab in your browser going to the location. If there is no website at that location then the page will just display the message. The URL for that tab that is opened should contain information needed for the next step such as your response code.

Please go through the steps again and look for the response code and then you should be able to move to the next step of the oAuth process.
