Secrets

Some secrets are needed to build the app. You will need to create the files yourself.

Calypso Secrets

We use an OAuth connection to authenticate logins against the WordPress.com API. You can create an application here.

When creating your application, you'll need to fill in all the fields:

  • Name: Any name of your choosing.
  • Description: A description, e.g. "My wp-desktop testing app".
  • Website URL: A URL. For testing the desktop app, you can use the repo URL https://github.com/Automattic/wp-desktop.
  • Redirect URLs: The form requires a valid URL. Please use: 
     http://127.0.0.1:41050
 http://calypso.localhost:3000
  • Javascript Origins: 
     http://127.0.0.1:41050
 http://calypso.localhost:3000
  • Answer the bot challenge correctly.
  • Type: Native

When you've filled out the form, click the create button.

In the end, your application details should look similar to: application details

After your application is created, copy your client id and client secret, and add a calypso/config/secrets.json file:

{
	"desktop_oauth_token_endpoint": "https://public-api.wordpress.com/oauth2/token",
	"desktop_oauth_client_id": "<YOUR CLIENT ID>",
	"desktop_oauth_client_secret": "<YOUR CLIENT SECRET>"
}
