This describes what’s needed to access protected resources on vzaar in a two legged oAuth implementation.
Obtaining a application token
- Log into vzaar.com using your login credentials (username / password)
- Go to vzaar.com/settings/api
- Generate your Application Token
usage guidlines
When sending an oauth request from your application use the following
- Consumer Key - empty string
- Consumer Secret - empty string
- Access Token - your vzaar login name
- Access Token Secret - your generated Application Token
examples
ruby example using oauth gem:
gem 'oauth' require 'oauth/consumer' def delete_video(id) @consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new '', '', { :site => 'http://vzaar.com' } # Empty strings for Consumer Key and Consumer Secret token = 'some_vzaar_login' # Replace with your vzaar login secret = 'Gg6VLOZbJCARECba3TuBQSoQiMYBt8QgjslCLPUYiJg' # Paste the generated Valet Key @access_token = OAuth::AccessToken.new(@consumer, token, secret) @res = @access_token.delete("/videos/#{id}.xml") # Send the request, in this case using 'delete' method end
