Attempting to use Lightroom API for local development

[sillysloth]

I'm trying to develop my application using the lightroom api. I'm attempting to test locally with a react app on port 3000 but when I try to use the redirect URI I've been getting all kinds of issues. 

When following the docs, it says you can use https://localhost/redirect/ as the redirect URI but when I try this, I get an error like this: 

 

I'm able to use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost along with the port, but when I try to save the following config, I get a useless error.

I tried deleting the project to start fresh, but it won't let me delete the project even after removing the lightroom API. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry for the trouble here.  Our documentation is incorrect - we don't currently support localhost as you've discovered.  We would indeed like to add this capability, but for now, please ignore the documentation, we will get it updated.

Some good news, hope it is not too late.  Rather than fix the documentation, we have added this (needed) feature.  If you are still interested, please give it a try and see if it works for you.
