We click the above “Run” button, which starts the Flask server. We wait until we see the “Welcome to the Flask App” message in the output tab. After that, we click on the “Go to authentication page” in the FreshBooks application setting. Then, we are redirected to the redirection URL, and a “Welcome to the Flask App” message is printed in the browser. Now, we need to focus on the browser's address bar and observe the URL.

Let’s copy this alpha-numeric string that is written after `?code=` and paste it into the code widget below.
