OAuth custom HTTP param

Hello,

I integrate my webserver app with Garmin API. My question is pretty simple. How can I pass a custom param to authorizePath step (https://connect.garmin.com/oauthConfirm) and get it back along with oauth_token and oauth_verifier? In my case, I want to pass param to Garmin Endpoint to know which user in my app just consented. Instead of

{"oauth_token"=>"09416716-dec5-4254-91fa-6da708c90d34", "oauth_verifier"=>"mxqeNJ4bER"}

I would like to retrive

{"oauth_token"=>"09416716-dec5-4254-91fa-6da708c90d34", "oauth_verifier"=>"mxqeNJ4bER", "userID"=>"4789324723642387462"}

Is somehow possible?

Regards.

Yes, your script has to make the authorization access first (submitting the login and password on the login page), then keeping the sessionid and maintain the cookie and/or sending the tokens. Since the cookie and the tokens expire after some time, you need to code the session handling accordingly, and refresh (relogin) if needed.

Is it the only way to store it in a cookie? Don't you handle some mechanism as `state` in OAuth 2.0?

Possibly. You can try it

It does not work. I try to send custom params but /oauthConfirm but it is not being returned along with oauth_token

In that case just use Network Monitor, analyze the HTTP communication when using browser, and then mimick it with your script.

Certainly solved, but the doc says :

The callback URL may include partner provided query parameters. Garmin Connect will retain them unmodified and append the OAuth parameters to the existing query
