Open a GET in a browser

[gvarnell]

I am working through an OAuth workflow that begins with a GET being sent to an authentication endpoint. I typically utilize https://oauthdebugger.com/ which works great. Once I get the authorization code back from that workflow, I then past it into an environment variable in Postman so I can make all the future POSTS. This is all working fine.

I would love to use my Postman environments to make the first GET, so I am not having to manually enter everything at https://oauthdebugger.com/. However, if I use postman to perform the GET, it just receives a redirect response (Javascript/HTML) that I then have to cut and paste into a browser (HTML includes relative links so I can’t just cmnd-click on it).

I am interested in knowing is there a way to make Postman open a browser and perform the first GET in the browser, so OAuth workflow would work correctly from there?

You should be using that website to confirm the settings you need.

Once you have this confirmed, you should then use the Authorization helpers in Postman. The Auth tab on a request\folder\collection.

In the Auth Type, you should select “OAuth 2.0” from the list and configure as appropriate. If the grant type requires user\browser interaction, then it will popup a window for this when run.
