I am trying to build an application on my local machine using Twitter's OAuth 1.1 API and Facebooks SDK v4 both for PHP.
Both of these mechanisms redirect the user to prompt for permission and redirect back to website. I can get both working but they will not work under the same local url.
I set everything up for Facebook on localhost without any issues but twitter (staggeringly) does not allow using localhost (see here How to test the twitter API locally?). So instead I set up a virtual host using my Mac based MAMP installation and added that url to both Twitter and Facebook applications. Now Facebook does not allow me to use my virtual host. When the prompt for permissions happens and Facebook redirects back to my site, when I try and retrieve the session using getSessionFromRedirect() it returns NULL. This does not happen if I run the same code using localhost.
I have tried using 127.0.0.1 but Facebook does not allow this either (error is invalid because it is a Facebook url!), but Twitter does!?!
Has anyone else had any problems with this or does anyone have any pointers that would help me to test both of these on the same deployment.
Many thanks in advance.

I integrate Google's Auth API in my production website.
When I enter the login page, it throws an idpiframe_initialization_failed exceptions to the console.
I found out that I can fix it by enabling that API / Cookies in my chrome browser, but I want to find a comprehensive solution that will prevent those exceptions in my production environment.
So my two questions are:
What do you suggest me to do in order to achieve that?
In general, what is the meaning of those excpections?
Thanks :)
If you have a production url like http://godaddysite.com etc host your page there with a Webserver.
Opening a htnl page from your computer with javascript doesnot work as it is not hosted on webserver.
Please check your redirect url etc when you created Oauth client.
Go to the Credentials page.
Click Create credentials > OAuth client ID.
Select the Web application application type.
Name your OAuth 2.0 client and click Create
check origins
create new OAuth with correct origins.
I am using facebook SDK. I am getting the following error:
Insecure Login Blocked: You can't get an access token or log in to this app from an insecure page. Try re-loading the page as https://
After studying I came to know that I have to set 'Enforce HTTPS' as NO under 'facebook login> Setting> '. But I can not set Enforce HTTPS as NO. Is this problem is from mine? OR I facebook restrict to use https instead of http?
enable Client OAuth Login and write "localhost:3000" in Valid OAuth Redirect URIs.
Save changes. it will automatically change to https://localhost:3000 , but it doesn't matter...
And set Status: In Development (THIS IS IMPORTANT!)
Then it will work in your http localhost.
But I can not set Enforce HTTPS as NO. Is this problem is from mine?
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/security:
Enforce HTTPS. This setting requires HTTPS for OAuth Redirects and pages getting access tokens with the JavaScript SDK. All new apps created as of March 2018 have this setting on by default and you should plan to migrate any existing apps to use only HTTPS URLs by March 2019.
Sounds to me, like they don’t want you to be able to even start without HTTPS, when you are creating a new app now.
Plus, Chrome has recently announced that they will mark all HTTP sites as insecure soon, from version 68 on, that will be released in July 2018. So you’re gonna have to go HTTPS rather sooner than later anyway.
The “big players” of the industry are currently pushing for this big time, whether we want it or not.
If you just enable Client OAuth Login and write just localhost:{port} to Valid OAuth Redirect URIs, it will work.
If you're developing locally with create-react-app, a quick solution is to add
HTTPS=true
to your .env file and just comment it out when you're not testing Facebook login.
It seems like Business apps do not have app modes and instead rely exclusively on access levels. Because of this, you can't set the app to the "Development mode".
All newly created apps start out in Development mode and you should avoid changing it until you have completed all development and testing.

However, if you wanna try out your app in a localhost, you need to create a test app, like you can check out in this thread:
How to fix 'Facebook has detected MyApp isn't using a secure connection to transfer information.' error in Laravel
I'm developing a website that is going to use Facebook authentication.
I'm using GWT and it works fine when I run the code compiled, but when I'm running the development it does not work.
The problem is when I'm trying to retrieve the access_token from Facebook.
I'm receiving the error below:
"error":{"message":"Error validating verification code. Please make sure your redirect_uri is identical to the one you used in the OAuth dialog request","type":"OAuthException","code":100}"
Obviously, the redirect_uri is identical as the login url one.
I found out (by this topic) that the problem is the last part of the url "?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997".
How can I solve this? or how can I manage to use the GWT development mode with this problem?
Thanks,
Normally this is due to the url verification FB does.
When you register a new app in FB you have to configure the set of domains (App Domains) authorized to use the FB login form.
Unfortunately you cannot set 127.0.0.1 nor localhost as a valid domain, so you cannot use GWT dev-mode unless you configure a hostname in your domain pointing to your localhost.
If you set mydomain.com as a valid App Domain in your FB application, configure localhost.mydomain.com pointing to 127.0.0.1 in your local hosts file or in your DNS server. Then use http://localhost.mydomain.com:8888/myapp.html?gwt.codesvr=localhost.mydomain.com:9997 to run dev mode in your browser.
I found out the problem.
By encoding only the gwt.codesvr value it works.
However, using php urlencode function on it did not work, I had to encode it myself.
The gwt dev param ended like this "?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1%3A9997"
I have done following steps:-
created an facebook App with all the details filled and got AppID and App Secret.
Integrated an facebook extension to my magento website and filled AppID and App Secret to magento admin.
When I login then it asks for the permissions to access the facebook user details also, but after that it shows error "Facebook Connection Failed".
My website is at localhost and I filled site url = "http://localhost/magento/mywebsite.php" in the facebook App which I created.
I have done this thing prior also. It worked previously but not working this time.
You can't use localhost URLs when configuring your app. The URL needs to be accessible to Facebook. Either use the IP address of your test server, or register a test domain.
I'm building an ASP.NET MVC application that shows information from Facebook. However, if I'm debugging the website locally without a public HTTP endpoint, how can I test the authentication to grab the OAuth token to ensure my app can pull the correct information?
If you mean running in localhost . . . take a look at this question:
