MercadoLibre OAuth2 Access Token

See more MercadoLibre Examples

Demonstrates how to get a MercadoLibre OAuth2 access token from a desktop application or script.

Important: This example requires that you add a line of code (or a few lines of code) to launch a web browser that navigates to the URL returned by the StartAuth method. The MercadoLibre account owner interactively authorizes the access just for the 1st time in getting the access token. Once the access token is obtained, it can be refreshed with no user interaction.

Also, you must define your app in the MercadoLibre web portal. You would need to add a Redirect URL such as "http://localhost:3017/". The port number in the Redirect URI must match the Chilkat OAuth2's ListenPort and the format of the URL should be exactly "http://localhost:3017/". Do not use "https://" because the redirect from the browser to your app (listening on a background thread in Chilkat) is a localhost-to-localhost connection.
