xAuth Consumer Sample using Ruby

Leave a reply

I’m developing OAuth/xAuth Service Provider using OAuth / OAuth-Plugin.
pelle/oauth-plugin – GitHub

Since OAuth-Plugin doesn’t support xAuth, I decided to create a program to support it.
I’ll write an entry about xAuth support, before that, I write this entry about sample of using xAuth in Ruby.

You need to install Ruby OAuth Gem.

require 'oauth'

CONSUMER_KEY = 'Your-Consumer-Key'
CONSUMER_SECRET = 'Your-Consumer-Secret'

def get_access_token
  consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, :site => 'Your-OAUTH-Provider-URL')
  access_token = consumer.get_access_token(nil, {}, { :x_auth_mode => 'client_auth', :x_auth_username => 'Your-User-Name', :x_auth_password => 'Your-Password' })

  [access_token.token, access_token.secret]
end

def access_api(token, secret)
  consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, :site => 'Your-OAuth-Provider-URL')
  access_token = OAuth::AccessToken.new(consumer, token, secret)

  access_token.get('Your-API-URL')
end

token, secret = get_access_token
p "token: #{token}"
p "secret: #{secret}"

response = access_api(token, secret)
p response
