If I want to update the authorization callback url programmatically for an oauth app, is there an api for that?

[gabrielfrimodig]

Short answer: No.

GitHub does not provide an API to update settings like the authorization callback URL for an OAuth app programmatically. However, GitHub does have a REST API for managing GitHub Apps which supports various administrative actions. If you can switch from an OAuth app to a GitHub App, you could manage it more effectively with these APIs. But, of course, it won't solve the problem for an existing OAuth app.

Hope that helps!
