403 from Rails after callback

[nelsonblaha]

I'm probably doing something wrong, or omniauth-reddit isn't up-to-date with Reddit's API.

Omniauth.rb:
provider :reddit, REDDIT_KEY, REDDIT_SECRET, {:scope => 'read,mysubreddits'}
(also tried :scope => 'read' with same result)

Approval page shows my app's name, but callback is 403 with this url:

http://localhost:3000/auth/reddit/callback?state=a5a...0516&code=uTA...Vj0

My callback URL is http://localhost:3000/auth/reddit/callback

Thanks for creating this gem! I have big plans for it.

hey nelson,

Did you look at #1 by any chance? I unfortunately don't have time these days to help debug but I know that PR definitely fixed some stuff up.

good luck!

Hi Nelson,
I had this problem as well. For some reason, reddit doesn't like if the referring host name is localhost.

Try your app at http://127.0.0.1:3000 and it should work.

The answer is that the identity scope is required for this gem to work. If you forget identity /api/v1/me.json does not work.
