  I can confirm I'm also seeing this error.

  In the case of mine, I had the protocol "https" defined in the App (https://www.geni.com/platform/developer/apps/) Callback URL, but my app was using "http" in the redirect_uri.  I set that to https as well and it seems to be working well now.  Essentially, the redirect_uri protocol and domain needs to match that defined in the callback.

  If using a desktop application you should not need to use a callback URL

  See my example: https://github.com/bpbrox/GeniApiSample

  Writing a desktop application, but I don't have access to the browser's internal state. How is that meant to work?

  I'm getting "Error: Page or Resource Not Found" after authorizing my app in a browser.
