    Hey AsadGilani,

    You need to google OAuth v2 process flow diagrams to understand OAuth 2 processing (or 1 actually). Once you understand the processing flow/sequence you'll then understand the concept.

    However, i scraped the following content from another website:

    "Redirect URLs are a critical part of the OAuth flow. After a user successfully authorizes an application, the authorization server will redirect the user back to the application with either an authorization code or access token in the URL"

    Hope this helps,
