MercadoExample

What's this?

This Android app is an example on how to work with MercadoPago's API with client and nothing else. Please, do not use this in production. A lot of the implemented features are unsecure if ran on client and belong on the server-side.

How to get MercadoPago API key and what to do with it

1. From Developer Panel get your application number and set up redirect-url in application's options (can be any URL, if you don't have one)
2. Enter these fields into this link: https://auth.mercadopago.com.ar/authorization?client_id={APPLICATION_ID}&response_type=code&platform_id=mp&state={RANDOM_ID}&redirect_url={REDIRECT_URL} and authorize through it
3. After authorization you will be redirected and in the page's url there will be a code in format TG-XXX...
4. Get application's secret in the "Credentials" page
5. Make a POST request to https://api.mercadopago.com/oauth/token with body similar to

{  
   "client_id": APPLICATION_ID,  
   "client_secret" : APPLICATION_SECRET,  
   "grant_type": "authorization_code",  
   "code": "TG-XXXXX...",  
   "redirect_uri": REDIRECT_URL,  
   "test_token": false  
}

6. Set mercadoApiKey, mercadoRefreshToken and mercadoUserID inside the gradle.properties file in the root directory
