Hello! So i'm actually making a NPM module that use anime/manga API and i'm trying to implement MAL API in my module. For testing purpose, i have to make web requests to the API, but i need an ID to continue, my problem is that it requires a homepage URL and a redirection URL, but it's not an web/mobile app, so how i'm supposed to do tests if the form needs these two URLs?

@Normi-kun Hi! A couple of questions:

Does your application need to edit/alter some data (e.g., a user's anime list), or does it only read public data?
Is your application supposed to run on the back end (e.g., on a server or PC, outside of a browser)?

For testing, you can use your MAL's profile page as your Homepage URL. But the Redirect URL depends on my two questions.

@ZeroCrystal Hello! Sorry for the delay!
My package will be using the API as read-only data (anime and manga results only.), with multiple methods (using JS), I have to make a find method, a list method, and maybe a few others to get more details about the characters and stuff... Will depend on available endpoints and parameters.
And it is supposed to be used in a backend webserver (like using ReactJS or another Framework)

@Normi-kun Thanks for the clarification. Read-only applications are easier to implement because they can bypass most of the OAuth pipeline.
You can directly pass your Client ID for authentication, there's no need to issue and manage Access Tokens.

You can read more here: [Nov 2021] Public information can now be accessed without authentication
