Using Python to OAuth for leveraging Box API

Hi ,

I took a look over the docs and you're right, what's there could be a bit confusing for what the config file actually is.

The config is essentially a file that you create (e.g. config.py) that houses a few variables that are needed for the app. The contents of the Python config would look like this:

# Auth config
client_id = 'YOUR CLIENT ID'
client_secret='YOUR CLIENT SECRET'
redirect_uri = 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/return'

That's the config.py file that is being referenced in the docs. I have also added a more detailed explanation to step 1 of the docs to walk through that content as well. 

I also have a number of working application examples in Python (JWT & OAuth) here if you want to see a working example. I'm working on moving those over to the docs as well.

Thanks,

Jon

Hi

Thank you for your contribution. I am sorry but I am still a little lost on how to proceed. I'm sure it is because I'm new to Python.

I copy your code, using my CLIENT ID and CLIENT SECRET.

However, when I try to run the application, nothing happens.

I am using "app.run()". Is that ok?

This is what I get.

app.run()
