Cookie based login will be deprecated soon. Does this library support OAuth?

It doesn't, but it's a work in progress. I hope to have something to try out in a couple weeks.

OAuth branch:

I'm hoping to have OAuth publicly available some time this coming week – the current branch is very out of date unfortunately, but I've been working on it all day today and it's looking pretty good.

Sounds great, can't wait! Thanks Sam!

[samsymons]

@ealimam No problem, sorry for taking so long with it!

[emoryalimam]

@samsymons It's gonna be worth it, I'm sure!

Any update on OAuth support? Would love to test this out.

[emoryalimam]

Hi @samsymons,

Do you have any updates on OAuth support? Would love to get this in as the August 3rd deadline is right around the corner. :)

Thanks!
Emory

Hi @samsymons Any word on this?

[samsymons]

@ealimam Hey Emory – things are looking pretty good at the moment. Later this coming week (probably the 25th) there'll be the first beta of 2.0 available, with the plan to release it very soon after, so that we can get ahead of the August 3 deadline.

Sorry again for it taking so long; I'm currently one of two developers at a company so spare time is pretty limited. :)

[emoryalimam]

@samsymons Yes, I certainly know how it goes. ;) Sounds great, can't wait to see all the good stuff you've been working on!

Hi @samsymons, please let me know if there's anything I can do to help with OAuth support.

I'm suddenly realizing that Reddit Notifier will need an update quickly or I'll have many unhappy customers on 8/3!

If you had a WIP branch or checklist of remaining items I would be happy to help. Let me know!

[samsymons]

Hey @pkamb – there's a beta version of 2.0 with OAuth support currently available, but the API is in flux and a lot of the new features aren't there just yet, like live thread support.

I'm debating releasing 2.0 once the OAuth API is finalised, and then add the newer endpoints in future releases, just to get it available sooner. I've recently found myself with a lot more free time, so I'll be on RedditKit more or less full time until it's out. :)

There's a TODO list available on that branch but it's incomplete – I'll fill it out this afternoon, in case anybody wants to help out.

[pkamb]

Great, thanks for that. Hoping to put some time into this and my app soon.

FYI, everyone's going to have a bit more time:

The biggest project that affects you directly is the oauth transition that we had planned for August. We understand that forcing this move without adequate support from our side is not fair to the dev community so until we have time to help ease this transition we will not be forcing the swap. Note that this is still something we will be pursuing and any new features we release will continue to be supported only on oauth.

Curious, is this going to be added any time soon? This is a really important feature and I haven't heard anything in ages.
