Some very rough test scripts for hitting up the OAuth endpoints.
These instructions assume you understand the basics of how OAuth
works. You may want to read up about it first. Here are some good
resources for learning about OAuth:
http://hueniverse.com/oauth/
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5849
To use these scripts (and OAuth in general) first you will need to
register and OAuth client application with your StatusNet instance:
http://example.status.net/settings/oauthapps
oauth.ini
---------
Using oauth.ini.sample as a guide, put your StatusNet OAuth endpoints
and consumer key and secret in a file called oauth.ini and save it
in the same directory as these scripts.
fetch_temp_creds.php
--------------------
Will fetch a request token, token secret and a URL to authorize the
token. Once you authorize the request token, you can exchange it
for an access token.
example usage:
$ php fetch_temp_creds.php
Request Token
- oauth_token = 89d481e376edc622f08da5791e6a4446
- oauth_token_secret = 6d028bcd1ea125cbed7da2f254219885
Authorize URL
http://example.status.net/api/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=89d481e376edc622f08da5791e6a4446
Now paste the Authorize URL into your browser and authorize your temporary credentials.
fetch_token_creds.php
---------------------
After you have authorized your request token, you will be presented
with a verifier code, or pin, in your browser, which you will need
to get an access token. Make sure you copy it into a text buffer
or write it down or something. Then call fetch_token_credentials.php
to exchange your temporary credentials for real token credentials.
example usage:
$ php fetch_token_creds.php -t 89d481e376edc622f08da5791e6a4446 -s 6d028bcd1ea125cbed7da2f254219885 -v 305162
Access Token
- oauth_token = 9b354df102d8e2b4621122c85d8d045c
- oauth_token_secret = 1800a88f1574b47d595214a74e5b1ec5
oauth_verify_credentials.php
----------------------------
Now you should have real token credentials (an OAuth access token)
and you can access protected API resources. This is an example
script that calls /api/account/verify_credentials.xml.
example usage:
$ php oauth_verify_creds.php -t 80305cd15c5c69834364ac02d7f9178c -s 673e3b2978b1b92c8edbfe172505fee1

oauth_post_notice.php
---------------------
This is another test script that lets you post a notice via OAuth.
example usage:
$ php oauth_post_notice.php -t 80305cd15c5c69834364ac02d7f9178c -s 673e3b2978b1b92c8edbfe172505fee1 -u 'Test test test...'
