Pass a string through Discord OAuth?

I was wondering if it was possible to use Discord OAuth (identify scope) while also passing through important supplemental information to the redirect URL.

site with [important variable] > oauth page > site that needs [important variable] and oauth result

I have tried appending something like ?variable="myString" but it shears off all unnecessary URL parameters other than the OAuth information. Discord OAuth also doesn't really appreciate being in an iframe, so that won't be the solution here.

I have written a post regarding this question, you can find it here:

Original answer:

To pass variables through an oAuth process, you should use the state oAuth parameter.

First create a Json string with your parameters,

for example {'first':'111', 'second':'222'}.

Then encode it to base64 so that it will not be modified when passing as a URL.

Pass this string as a state (api/oauth2/authorize?response_type=token&state=whatEverYouGotAsState).

Then you will be able to receive and decode it back on your redirect URI.
