Authentication using OAuth 1.0a
Using OAuth (1.0a)
A full introduction to OAuth is beyond the scope of the OpenPhoto documentation. In all reality you probably don't need to understand all the ins and outs of OAuth; just grab one of our libraries and start building.
- openphoto/openphoto-php - Our PHP language binding.
- openphoto/openphoto-ruby - Our Ruby language binding.
- openphoto/openphoto-python - Our Python language binding.
- openphoto/openphoto-java - Our Java language binding.
- More coming soon, contact us if you'd like to write bindings in an unlisted language.
Obtaining a consumer key and secret
Since Trovebox is distributed the flow to obtain a consumer key and secret differs slightly from typical OAuth applications. Typically you would sign up for an application ID and be given a key and secret to be used with your app. Trovebox differs because the host you'll be sending requests to is arbitrary and there's no central application repository.
