oAuth

oAuth is the protocol PorchettaSocial uses to grant protection of datas and informations about users when they grant us the authorization to post on their social.

All socials (Twitter, Tumblr and Flickr) use oAuth1Service.

Technical informations can be found at: Rauth Documentation .

oAuth needs:

  • Consumer Key

  • Consumer Secret

  • Endpoint Urls

Consumer Key and Consumer Secret are private keys PorchettaSocial owns after a registration to public API console. They identificate PorchettaSocial as the application that's asking permissions, so that social networks know who we are.

The Endpoint Urls are URLs (common format: http://website.dom/endpoint-for-API) waiting for Http requests, in specified formats.
