Can you pass parameters to an add-in via an arcgis-pro:// URI?

MikeDavlantes

The AGOL/Portal OAuth window redirects you back to Pro using a URI kind of like this: arcgis-pro://auth/4428/

 

Is there any way to use a similar URI to handle custom actions within an ArcGIS Pro add-in?

 

Two adjacent use cases I am trying to tackle:

1. Add-in authentication via a web service pretty much exactly how AGOL does it: click button on the add-in, a browser window opens, you enter your credentials, and you're redirected back to Pro with an auth token that the add-in can access.
2. Sharing custom scenarios amongst users via URI schemes. For example, you have the add-in configured in a specific way and it has an item open. You want to message me this exact scenario for me to review. You send me a URI like this and Pro passes this data to my add-in: arcgis-pro://custom_add_in_name/?<scenario_data_goes_here>

Hi,

For first case I use scenario like in code below:

                var psi = new ProcessStartInfo
                {
                    FileName = loginUrl,
                    UseShellExecute = true
                };

                // Open the browser.
                Process proc = Process.Start(psi);
                if (proc != null)
                {
                    // Wait For Login logic using HttpListenerContext
				....
                    // Get Tokens logic using HttpPost
				....
                }

Waiting for login or getting tokens are system dependent tasks. So I can suggest only c# classes to use in those tasks.
