NAME


oauth - oauth API base signature






SYNOPSIS


package require Tcl 8.5


package require oauth ?1.0.3?


::oauth::config


::oauth::config ?options...?


::oauth::header baseURL ?postQuery?


::oauth::query baseURL ?postQuery?










DESCRIPTION


The oauth package provides a simple Tcl-only library for
    communication with oauth [http://oauth.net] APIs. This current
    version of the package supports the Oauth 1.0 Protocol, as specified in
    RFC 5849 [http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5849.txt].






TLS SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS


This package uses the TLS package to handle the security
    for https urls and other socket connections.


Policy decisions like the set of protocols to support and what
    ciphers to use are not the responsibility of TLS, nor of this package
    itself however. Such decisions are the responsibility of whichever
    application is using the package, and are likely influenced by the set of
    servers the application will talk to as well.


For example, in light of the recent POODLE attack
    [http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/this-poodle-bites-exploiting-ssl-30.html]
    discovered by Google many servers will disable support for the SSLv3
    protocol. To handle this change the applications using TLS must be
    patched, and not this package, nor TLS itself. Such a patch may be as
    simple as generally activating tls1 support, as shown in the example
    below.






    package require tls


    tls::init -tls1 1 ;# forcibly activate support for the TLS1 protocol


    ... your own application code ...









COMMANDS



  
::oauth::config

  
When this command is invoked without arguments it returns a dictionary
      containing the current values of all options.

  
::oauth::config ?options...?

  
When invoked with arguments, options followed by their values, it is used
      to set and query various parameters of application and client, like proxy
      host and user agent for the HTTP requests. The detailed list of options is
      below:







  

  
This is the user's token.

  

  
This is the user's secret token.

  

  
This is the public token of your app.

  

  
This is the private token of your app.

  

  
The default value is off. If you change this option to on,
      the basic signature just created will be printed to stdout, among other
      debug output.

  

  
This is the version of the OAuth protocol to use. At the moment only
      1.0 is supported, the default.

  

  
You can set up a proxy host for send contact the oauth's api server.

  

  
Port number of your proxy.

  

  
The signature method to use. OAuth 1.0 only supports HMAC-SHA1, the
      default.

  

  
Timeout in milliseconds for your query. The default value is 6000,
      i.e. 6 seconds.

  

  
The encoding used for creating the x-url-encoded URLs with
      ::http::formatQuery. The default is utf-8, as specified by
      RFC 2718 [http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2718.txt].







  
::oauth::header baseURL ?postQuery?

  
This command is the base signature creator. With proper settings for
      various tokens and secrets (See ::oauth::config) the result is the
      base authentication string to send to the server.
    
You do not need to call this procedure to create the query
        because ::oauth::query (see below) will do for it for you. Doing
        so is useful for debugging purposes, though.

  







  

  
This argument is the URI path to the OAuth API server. If you plan send a
      GET query, you should provide a full path.






HTTP GET
::oauth::header {https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/lookup.json?screen_name=AbiertaMente}






  

  
When you have to send a header in POST format, you have to put the query
      string into this argument.






::oauth::header {https://api.twitter.com/1.1/friendships/create.json} {user_id=158812437&follow=true}








  
::oauth::query baseURL ?postQuery?

  
This procedure will use the settings made with ::oauth::config to
      create the basic authentication and then send the command to the server
      API. It takes the same arguments as ::oauth::header.
    
The returned result will be a list containing 2 elements. The
        first element will be a dictionary containing the HTTP header data
        response. This allows you, for example, to check the X-Rate-Limit from
        OAuth. The second element will be the raw data returned from API server.
        This string is usually a json object which can be further decoded with
        the functions of package json, or any other json-parser for
      Tcl.

    
Here is an example of how it would work in Twitter. Do not
        forget to replace the placeholder tokens and keys of the example with
        your own tokens and keys when trying it out.

  






% package require oauth
% package require json
% oauth::config -consumerkey {your_consumer_key} -consumersecret {your_consumer_key_secret} -accesstoken {your_access_token} -accesstokensecret {your_access_token_secret}
% set response [oauth::query https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/lookup.json?screen_name=AbiertaMente]
% set jsondata [lindex $response 1]
% set data [json::json2dict $jsondata]
$ set data [lindex $data 0]
% dict for {key val} $data {puts "$key => $val"}
