The callbackURL is like that return envelope. You are basically saying, "I am sending you this data; once you are done with it, I am listening on this callbackURL waiting your response." So the API will process the data you have sent then look at the callback to send you the response.
Under the event name, we define the URL your service will send callback messages to. In our example, the URL is specified by using the {$request.body#/callbackUrl} expression:
The CallbackURL is the URL that the authentication will redirect to after a success, and its needs to be setup in your OAuth application otherwise the authentication will fail to redirect.
With APIs using callbackURLs, the caller provides a URL to receive notifications once the process is complete. Using Beeceptor's callbackURL feature, you can effortlessly create, mock, and test these APIs.
CallbackURLs are designated endpoint URLs in target applications where webhook payloads are automatically sent and processed when specific events occur. They enable real-time communication between systems by providing a reliable mechanism for one application to notify another about important events or data changes.
Access Token Retrieval: The callbackURL is the endpoint where your application can securely exchange the authorization code for an access token. This access token is then used to make authorized API requests on behalf of the user.
When making an API request, the client includes a callback URL in the request body or as part of the API endpoint. This URL specifies where the server should send the callback once the event is triggered.
CallbackURLs redirect the user back to your app after they complete an action (like submitting a form or uploading a file). If the user is still involved, you’re likely using a callback...
OAuth uses the CallbackURL ("redirect_uri") to redirect the User and OAuth Flow back to the Application when necessary. This will be used as the URL "host" of that Application's landing page: CallbackURLs must be HTTPS. There is a 255-character limit on this field including all URLs listed.
A callback URL is a web address that an application will redirect to after a certain event has occurred, often with some additional data. This is a common pattern in web development, especially in scenarios involving authentication, webhooks, or integrating third-party services.
