Can a console APP use a OAUTH 2 REST API?
My boss wants me to make a console app that will basically sync data between ZOHO CRM and a datawarehouse database we have.
I have done similar projects with other sources of data so I thought it wouldnt be too bad.
But what im reading and what im seeing it might not even be possible.
First on zoho, when you create a client application it keeps asking for a domain and URL which my console app wont have.
Then from what I read OAUTH2 requires a callback url where it sends the token or i dont know what back to....
so yea am I wasting my time or is it something thats possible?

Register your own protocol and use it as callbacl
myapp://oauth-callback etcI have no idea what any of this means
so i make a first console app that sends the authorization request and then it will open a 2nd console app that will receive the token?
Or it can just reopen the current one
Another way would be using
HttpListener
And listen on localhost:portwell ive never wanted to quit my job so bad now
