Deep links

The Nouto desktop app registers the nouto:// URL scheme with the operating system. Opening a nouto:// URL starts Nouto, or brings the running window to the front.

Pass a nouto:// URL to your system’s URL opener.

On macOS:

Terminal window
open nouto://

On Windows, in PowerShell or Command Prompt:

Terminal window
start nouto://

On Linux:

Terminal window
xdg-open nouto://

You can also put a nouto:// link in a web page or document to open Nouto when someone clicks it.

A deep link opens or focuses Nouto. Deep links can’t open a specific request, collection, or environment.

Nouto runs as a single instance. Opening a deep link, or launching the app again, while Nouto is running brings the existing window to the front instead of starting a second copy.

The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code flow doesn’t use deep links. The desktop app receives the redirect on a temporary local server at http://127.0.0.1 on a random port. See OAuth 2.0.
