Package com.google.api.client.auth.oauth Description

Beta
OAuth 1.0 authorization as specified in RFC 5849: The OAuth 1.0 Protocol (see detailed package specification).

There are a few features not supported by this implementation:

Before using this library, you may need to set up your application as follows:

  1. For web applications, you may need to first register your application with the authorization server. It may provide two pieces of information you need:
  2. For an installed application, an unregistered web application, or a web application running on localhost, you must use the "HMAC-SHA1" signature method. The documentation for the authorization server will need to provide you with the consumerKey and clientSharedSecret to use.
  3. For the "HMAC-SHA1" signature method, use OAuthHmacSigner.
  4. For the "RSA-SHA1" signature method, use OAuthRsaSigner.

After the set up has been completed, the typical application flow is:

  1. Request a temporary credentials token from the Authorization server using OAuthGetTemporaryToken. A callback URL should be specified for web applications, but does not need to be specified for installed applications.
  2. Direct the end user to an authorization web page to allow the end user to authorize the temporary token using using OAuthAuthorizeTemporaryTokenUrl.
  3. After the user has granted the authorization:
    • For web applications, the user's browser will be redirected to the callback URL which may be parsed using OAuthCallbackUrl.
    • For installed applications, see the authorization server's documentation for figuring out the verification code.
  4. Request to exchange the temporary token for a long-lived access token from the Authorization server using OAuthGetAccessToken. This access token must be stored.
  5. Use the stored access token to authorize HTTP requests to protected resources by setting the OAuthParameters.token and using OAuthParameters as the HttpRequestInitializer.
