⏱️ We close idle threads, which makes them read-only. Once a thread is closed it won't be reopened, but you can always start a new thread if you have another question.

🔗 This thread will always be available, even after it's closed. You can find it again using Discord's search, or you can save this link: https://discord.com/channels/841573134531821608/1268726082555609098

Hi there, the acount link can only be used once. It looks like the link already consumed when you try to access it, and that's why it takes you back to the return_url which I believe, is your home page.

#

Are you shareing the account link URL through an IM like discord or slack?

So I think I misunderstood, the OAuth link is what I should use if I need something that doesn't need to be dynamic and individual to the user right?

#

I was trying to create account links on the server and I think it was over complicating things

#

When I can just use the OAuth flow

#

No, Oauth flow is already deprecated, and you should use /v1/accounts API

#

Take this down if it's depreciated

#

People wouldn't waste time setting things up

#

Also wait you literally have a whole portion on the dashboard for it

That's for legacy integration. For new integration I'd highly recommend using the accounts API instead of OAuth.

#

Thanks for the feedback, and I'd ask the doc team to put a legacy warning on the OAuth integration page

slow plover
#

Yeah I mean without telling me what the accounts API actually provides over legacy I'm going to ignore that advice because my needs are basic atm. I just need onboarding.

#

Extra feedback, you should include this in the docs^. Because people usually like OAuth for the simplicity and most people would opt for Oauth over anything that requires more legwork.

You should segment them less so by legacy vs. new, and more how you have Express and Standard.
