Google OAuth 2 authorization - Error: redirect_uri_mismatch
The redirect URI (where the response is returned to) has to be registered in the APIs console, and the error is indicating that you haven't done that, or haven't done it correctly.
Go to the console for your project and look under API Access. You should see your client ID
& client secret
there, along with a list of redirect URIs. If the URI you want isn't listed, click edit settings and add the URI to the list.
EDIT: (From a highly rated comment below) Note that updating the google api console and that change being present can take some time. Generally only a few minutes but sometimes it seems longer.
In my case it was www
and non-www
URL. Actual site had www
URL and the Authorized Redirect URIs in Google Developer Console had non-www
URL. Hence, there was mismatch in redirect URI. I solved it by updating Authorized Redirect URIs
in Google Developer Console to www
URL.
Other common URI mismatch are:
- Using
http://
in Authorized Redirect URIs andhttps://
as actual URL, or vice-versa - Using trailing slash (
http://example.com/
) in Authorized Redirect URIs and not using trailing slash (http://example.com
) as actual URL, or vice-versa
Here are the step-by-step screenshots of Google Developer Console so that it would be helpful for those who are getting it difficult to locate the developer console page to update redirect URIs.
Go to https://console.developers.google.com
Select your Project
- Click on the menu icon
- Click on
API Manager
menu
- Click on
Credentials
menu. And underOAuth 2.0 Client IDs
, you will find your client name. In my case, it isWeb Client 1
. Click on it and a popup will appear where you can edit Authorized Javascript Origin and Authorized redirect URIs.
Note: The Authorized URI includes all localhost links by default, and any live version needs to include the full path, not just the domain, e.g. https://example.com/path/to/oauth/url
