Getting the credentials

The methods available for MercadoPago Connect are the following:

• sendAuthorizationCode - Send a request to an specific URI with an authorization_code

mercadopago.connect.sendAuthorizationCode(client_id, redirect_uri, callback);

Example:

mercadopago.connect.sendAuthorizationCode('CLIENT_ID', 'http://www.mywebsite.com/mercadopago/webhook').then(function () {
  console.log('Everything went OK');
});

Now you are going to receive a call to that redirect_uri:

http://www.URL_de_retorno.com?code=AUTHORIZATION_CODE

• getCredentials - Get your personal credentials from MercadoPago API

mercadopago.connect.getCredentials(access_token, authorization_code, redirect_uri, callback);

Example:

mercadopago.connect.getCredentials('ACCESS_TOKEN','AUTHORIZATION_CODE', 'http://www.mywebsite.com/mercadopago/webhook').then(function (response) {
  console.log(response);
});
