OAuth

[eluser]Yorick Peterse[/eluser]
So I've been working on an application for a while, it's supposed to be something big. Anyway, for the API I'm going to need a way to authorize it, and I thought the best way was to do this using either 'Basic' authentication or 'OAuth'.

The problem with OAuth is that I can't find any clear articles explaining how to implement it, sure there's this page, but it doesn't make that much sense to me.

What I'm asking is if there are any CI guys around here who have worked with OAuth before and could shed some light on it

Hey,
Sorry can't help about OAuth, however just messaging to say there are other alternatives to auth. I coded myself an api library a while back, it basically is a clone of last.fm's implementation of their api. Didn't know if you are interested but here's a link to http://www.last.fm/api/authspec about how they auth their api.

The reason I wanted to go with OAuth is because I really like the way it works, besides it will do a lot of work for me as I don't have to code an entire library myself.
