Dear Taboola support team,
currently we are working on an app where a user can connect to his Taboola account via the Taboola Backstage API. We are planning on using the Authorization Code Flow for authentication.
We have the following question, since this isn't entirely clear from your Docs:
Should the client credentials (client ID and client secret) be set by the user or system wide? So, should every user of our app get his client credentials from Taboola and enter them when setting up the integration, or should we get one set of client credentials that will be used by very user of our app?
Regards, Burk

Taboola OAuth: Taboola Service Unavailable
Hi all,
we're trying to implement the OAuth authentication to gain access to the Backstage API, but whenever we try the redirect we receive the Error:
Taboola Service Unavailable
It's a HTTP 503
According to Taboola support our redirect URL is white-listed, but for some reason it doesn't seem to work and we don't have any clues as to what we're doing wrong. Any help greatly appreciated!

Authorisation Code method redirect issue
Iβm hoping someone can help with a stumbling block Iβm facing with our auth flow. Iβm trying to use the Authorisation Code method outlined in the api docs (https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference#authorization-code) as follows:
This flow is similar to Implicit Grant (above), but involves an additional step:
User clicks on Connect within your App.
Your App redirects the user to a Taboola login page:
[authentication_domain]/authentication/oauth/authorize/?client_id=[client_id]&redirect_uri=[redirect-uri]&response_type=code
Note: set authentication_domain = 'https://authentication.taboola.comβ
Iβve built the Taboola login url as outlined above using our client id and desired redirect however when I test the URL and subsequent login process there is no redirect back to our app, instead the user is taken to this page within Taboola that asks whether I want to go to backstage or newsroom, both of which keep the user in Taboola.
Anyone know why I canβt redirect back out to our app to complete the authors flow?
