Overview#

OAuth Error is an Result Code indicating something went wrong. (i.e. Error)

If an OAuth 2.0 request fails due to a missing, invalid, or mismatching redirect_uri, or if the OAuth Client identifier is missing or invalid, the Authorization Server SHOULD inform the Resource Owner of the error and MUST NOT automatically redirect the user-agent to the invalid Redirect URI.

If the Resource Owner denies the access Authorization Request or if the request fails for reasons other than a missing or invalid redirect_uri, the Authorization Server informs the client by adding the following parameters to the query component of the Redirect URI using the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" format, per Appendix B
