boxr redirect_uri_mismatch Error

[stephbuon]

Hello! I am wondering if I can ask for your help on this:

I am trying to use boxr to read files from Box's API.

The set up seems pretty simple. I created a Box app. I then copy/pasted the client secret and client ID into box_auth()

library(boxr)
box_auth(client_id = "<placeholder>", client_secret = "<placeholder>")

When I do this I am taken to a new page that says:

There seems to be a problem with this app. 
Error: redirect_uri_mismatch 

I cannot find the solution in the documentation or on Stack Overflow. Am I missing a step? Thank you so much for your time and help.

Maybe the closed issue #230 will help you?

I am just getting back into this package after spending too much time away.

It took me a while to get an OAuth2 app working, and this was one of the problems (the other was that I had to give the app permissions to write to Box).

In this case, I had to specify the URI in the app as http://localhost:1410/, instead of http://localhost.

I'll write up the other thing as an issue, and make a PR to improve the documentation.
