[description]
[para]

The [package oauth] package provides a simple Tcl-only library
for communication with [uri http://oauth.net oauth] APIs.

This current version of the package supports the Oauth 1.0 Protocol,
as specified in [uri http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5849.txt {RFC 5849}].

[include ../common-text/tls-security-notes.inc]

[section Commands]

[list_begin definitions]
[call [cmd ::oauth::config]]

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

[call [cmd ::oauth::config] [opt [arg 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:

[list_begin options]
[opt_def -accesstoken [arg string]]
This is the user's token.

[opt_def -accesstokensecret [arg string]]
This is the user's secret token.

[opt_def -consumerkey [arg string]]
This is the public token of your app.

[opt_def -consumersecret [arg string]]
This is the private token of your app.

[opt_def -debug [arg bool]]
The default value is [const off]. If you change this option to [const on],
the basic signature just created will be printed to stdout, among other
debug output.

[opt_def -oauthversion [arg version]]
This is the version of the OAuth protocol to use.
At the moment only [const 1.0] is supported, the default.

[opt_def -proxyhost [arg hostname]]
You can set up a proxy host for send contact the oauth's api server.

[opt_def -proxyport [arg port-number]]
Port number of your proxy.

[opt_def -signmethod [arg method]]
The signature method to use. OAuth 1.0 only supports [const HMAC-SHA1], the default.

[opt_def -timeout [arg milliseconds]]
Timeout in milliseconds for your query.
The default value is [const 6000], i.e. 6 seconds.

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

[list_end]

[call [cmd ::oauth::header] [arg baseURL] [opt [arg postQuery]]]

This command is the base signature creator. With proper settings for various tokens
and secrets (See [cmd ::oauth::config]) the result is the base authentication string
to send to the server.

[para] You do not need to call this procedure to create the query because
[cmd ::oauth::query] (see below) will do for it for you.

Doing so is useful for debugging purposes, though.

[list_begin arguments]
[arg_def url baseURL]

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

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

[arg_def url-encoded-string postQuery]

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

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

[list_end]

[call [cmd ::oauth::query] [arg baseURL] [opt [arg postQuery]]]

This procedure will use the settings made with [cmd ::oauth::config] to create the
basic authentication and then send the command to the server API.

It takes the same arguments as [cmd ::oauth::header].

[para] 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 [package json], or any other json-parser for Tcl.

[para] 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.

[example {% 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"}
