Duplicity backup to onedrive client error

Question

I'm trying to make backup of files on my computer in onedrive with duplicity. I have installed all dependencies, when running duplicity there is the auth link generated which I must open in browser and than in duplicity after giving permissions for app paste the return url.

I do all this steps but duplicity is returning me

InvalidClientError: (invalid_client) The client does not exist. If you are the application developer, configure a new application through the application management site at https://manage.dev.live.com/.

It looks like there is no app with ID which duplicity generate auth link with. But when I go to the link provided by duplicity I see that "Duplicity is asking for permissions".

So should I add my own app and in some way provide its id to duplicity? (I was searching how to do it but without result) or is it a duplicity bug?

All programmatic interaction with Windows Live requires a client ID, which uniquely identifies your application to Windows Live. Your application must include the client ID in every request that it sends to the Messenger Connect API Service.

You have to register your application as shown in this official Windows Live tutorial: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff751474.aspx

And then pass your ID to the application to be able to authentificate in Windows Live in execution time when asking to the API.

You can use the code in https://github.com/fkalis/bash-onedrive-upload which also provide full support for upload files which size is bigger then 100MB

of course I know that :) I made all steps but still not working, found other bash script for upload and now works great. — rafwlaz, Jan 12 '16 at 21:05
