Redirect URI Mismatch with Box API

[Arnautt]

When attempting to authenticate with the Box API, user encounter a "redirect_uri_mismatch" error. Here are the steps to reproduce :

• Set up a Box application and configure the redirect URI to ​http://localhost:8000/

• Create the minimal example to reproduce the error

1. settings.py

BOX_CLIENT_ID = 'YOUR_BOX_CLIENT_ID'
BOX_CLIENT_SECRET = 'YOUR_BOX_CLIENT_SECRET'

2. views.py

from django.shortcuts import redirect
from django.conf import settings
from boxsdk import OAuth2

def authenticate_with_box(request):
    oauth = OAuth2(
        client_id=settings.BOX_CLIENT_ID,
        client_secret=settings.BOX_CLIENT_SECRET,
    )
    auth_url, csrf_token = oauth.get_authorization_url(redirect_url=request.build_absolute_uri(reverse('upload')))
    request.session['csrf_token'] = csrf_token
    return redirect(auth_url)

def upload(request):
    return render(request, "upload.html", {'access_token': request.session["access_token"]})

3. urls.py

from django.urls import path
from .views import authenticate_with_box

urlpatterns = [
    path('', authenticate_with_box, name='authenticate_with_box'),
    path('upload/', views.upload, name='upload'),
]

• Run the server

python manage.py runserver
