Python LinkedIn REDIRECT_URI

Where am I supposed to find my REDIRECT_URI to tap into the LinkedIn API? I see the client ID and secret code but can't seem to find the redirect piece.

# Copy the client ID, secret, and redirect URI in the fields below
CLIENT_ID    = 'xxxxxxx'
CLIENT_SECRET = 'xxxxxxxxxxx'
REDIRECT_URI = 'http://localhost:8000'

# Generate a random string to protect against cross-site request forgery
letters = string.ascii_lowercase
CSRF_TOKEN = ''.join(random.choice(letters) for i in range(24))


# Request authentication URL
auth_params = {'response_type': 'code',
               'client_id': CLIENT_ID,
               'redirect_uri': REDIRECT_URI,
               'state': CSRF_TOKEN,
               'scope': 'r_liteprofile,r_emailaddress,w_member_social'}

html = requests.get("https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization",
                    params = auth_params)

# Print the link to the approval page
print(html.url)

It can be found in the Settingssection, or if not check the AUTH tab. See the image for reference.

If you encounter an Invalid redirect_uri then see this - inkedin : Invalid redirect_uri. This value must match a URL registered with the API Key
