Both of these, along with an optional callback (if it was chosen) must be inserted in the Prodosia application. Ensure that they are copied precise and exact.
Note:
Keep the Client ID and Client secret safe. If sharing the bot with other people, remove the keys.txt file from the folder before sending it over.
- If the client-id is erroneous, the first time you will be prompted to authorize it will give the following exception.
- If the client secret is erroneous, it won't be possible to get past the login screen. Check your credentials if this happens.
- If the callback is erroneous, the application won't be able to recognize when the authorization process has completed. It will leave the authorization window open, only to fail authorization once it has to be manually closed.
