You must have a Bitly account to register an OAuth application. Contact Bitly support to request OAuth app registration access if the option is not visible.

Registering an OAuth Application

To enable OAuth 2.0 for multi-user Bitly connections, you need to register an OAuth application to obtain a Client ID and Client Secret.

1

Open Registered OAuth applications

Sign in to your Bitly account and open the OAuth applications settings.

  • In the left sidebar, click Settings.
  • Under the Developer settings section, click API.
  • Scroll down to the Registered OAuth applications section.

Register a new application

Click Register new app and fill in the application details.

  • Application Name: Enter a name (e.g., StackOne)
  • Application Link: Enter your company’s website URL (e.g., https://yourcompany.com)
  • Redirect URI: https://api.stackone.com/connect/oauth2/bitly/callback
  • Application Description: Brief description of the integration
  • Click Save to submit.

Retrieve Client ID and Client secret

After you click Save, Bitly shows a Successfully registered OAuth app message and automatically returns you to the Registered OAuth applications list — no manual navigation is needed.

  • Locate your newly registered application in the list.
  • Copy the Client ID value.
  • Copy the Client secret value.
  • Store both values securely for use later.
