OAuth Authorization Dialog

In order to authorize a user, you need to redirect their browser to [https://oauth.vk.com/authorize](https://oauth.vk.com/authorize) by passing the following parameters:

• client_id (required parameter) — The identifier of your application. redirect_uri (required parameter) — The address to which the user will be redirected after authorization (the domain of the specified address must correspond to the main domain in the application settings).
• display (required parameter) — Specifies the type of display of the authorization page. The following options are supported:
  • page — authorization form in a separate window;
  • popup — pop-up window;
  • mobile — authorization for mobile devices (without using Javascript). If the user logs in from a mobile device, the mobile type will be used.
• scope is the bit mask of the application's access settings, which must be checked during user authorization and requested if necessary.
• response_type — The type of response you want to receive:
  • code — if you want to make requests from a third-party server (by default);
  • token — if you want to make requests from the client.

Request example:

https://oauth.vk.com/authorize?client_id=1&redirect_uri=http://example.com/callback&scope=12&display=mobile

Note. If you are developing a Standalone application and pass a token in the response_type parameter, then you must specify the address as the redirect_uri parameter [https://oauth.vk.com/blank.html](https://oauth.vk.com/blank.html) to which the authorization data will be transmitted. Please note that only in this case you will have the opportunity to use advanced methods of working with the API.
