NAME
WWW::OAuth - Portable OAuth 1.0 authentication
SYNOPSIS
use WWW::OAuth;
my $oauth = WWW::OAuth->new(
client_id => $client_id,
client_secret => $client_secret,
token => $token,
token_secret => $token_secret,
);
# HTTP::Tiny
use HTTP::Tiny;
my $res = $oauth->authenticate(Basic => { method => 'GET', url => $url })
->request_with(HTTP::Tiny->new);
# HTTP::Request
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use LWP::UserAgent;
my $res = $oauth->authenticate(GET $url)->request_with(LWP::UserAgent->new);
# Mojo::Message::Request
use Mojo::UserAgent;
my $tx = $ua->build_tx(get => $url);
$tx = $oauth->authenticate($tx->req)->request_with(Mojo::UserAgent->new);
DESCRIPTION
WWW::OAuth implements OAuth 1.0 request authentication according to RFC
5849 <
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5849>. It does not implement the
user agent requests needed for the complete OAuth 1.0 authorization
flow; it only prepares and signs requests, leaving the rest up to your
application. It can authenticate requests for LWP::UserAgent,
Mojo::UserAgent, HTTP::Tiny, and can be extended to operate on other
types of requests.
Some user agents can be configured to automatically authenticate each
request with a WWW::OAuth object.
# LWP::UserAgent
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->add_handler(request_prepare => sub { $oauth->authenticate($_[0]) });
# Mojo::UserAgent
my $ua = Mojo::UserAgent->new;
$ua->on(start => sub { $oauth->authenticate($_[1]->req) });
RETRIEVING ACCESS TOKENS
The process of retrieving access tokens and token secrets for
authorization on behalf of a user may differ among various APIs, but it
follows this general format (error checking is left as an exercise to
the reader):
use WWW::OAuth;
use WWW::OAuth::Util 'form_urldecode';
use HTTP::Tiny;
my $ua = HTTP::Tiny->new;
my $oauth = WWW::OAuth->new(
client_id => $client_id,
client_secret => $client_secret,
);
# Request token request
my $res = $oauth->authenticate({ method => 'POST', url => $request_token_url },
{ oauth_callback => $callback_url })->request_with($ua);
my %res_data = @{form_urldecode $res->{content}};
my ($request_token, $request_secret) = @res_data{'oauth_token','oauth_token_secret'};
Now, the returned request token must be used to construct a URL for the
user to go to and authorize your application. The exact method differs
by API. The user will usually be redirected to the $callback_url passed
earlier after authorizing, with a verifier token that can be used to
retrieve the access token and secret.
# Access token request
$oauth->token($request_token);
$oauth->token_secret($request_secret);
my $res = $oauth->authenticate({ method => 'POST', url => $access_token_url },
{ oauth_verifier => $verifier_token })->request_with($ua);
my %res_data = @{form_urldecode $res->{content}};
my ($access_token, $access_secret) = @res_data{'oauth_token','oauth_token_secret'};
Finally, the access token and secret can now be stored and used to
authorize your application on behalf of this user.
$oauth->token($access_token);
$oauth->token_secret($access_secret);
ATTRIBUTES
WWW::OAuth implements the following attributes.
client_id
my $client_id = $oauth->client_id;
$oauth = $oauth->client_id($client_id);
Client ID used to identify application (sometimes called an API key or
consumer key). Required for all requests.
client_secret
my $client_secret = $oauth->client_secret;
$oauth = $oauth->client_secret($client_secret);
Client secret used to authenticate application (sometimes called an API
secret or consumer secret). Required for all requests.
token
my $token = $oauth->token;
$oauth = $oauth->token($token);
Request or access token used to identify resource owner. Leave
undefined for temporary credentials requests (request token requests).
token_secret
my $token_secret = $oauth->token_secret;
$oauth = $oauth->token_secret($token_secret);
Request or access token secret used to authenticate on behalf of
resource owner. Leave undefined for temporary credentials requests
(request token requests).
signature_method
my $method = $oauth->signature_method;
$oauth = $oauth->signature_method($method);
Signature method, can be PLAINTEXT, HMAC-SHA1, a coderef that
implements the RSA-SHA1 method, or an object that implements the
RSA-SHA1 method with a sign method like Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA. Defaults
to HMAC-SHA1.
METHODS
WWW::OAuth implements the following methods.
authenticate
$container = $oauth->authenticate($container, \%oauth_params);
my $container = $oauth->authenticate($http_request, \%oauth_params);
my $container = $oauth->authenticate(Basic => { method => 'GET', url => $url }, \%oauth_params);
Wraps the HTTP request in a container with "oauth_request" in
WWW::OAuth::Util, then updates the request URL, content, and headers as
needed to construct and sign the request for OAuth 1.0. OAuth
parameters (starting with oauth_) may be optionally specified in a
hashref, and will override any generated or existing OAuth parameters
of the same name. Returns the container object.
HTTP REQUEST CONTAINERS
Request containers provide a unified interface for "authenticate" to
parse and update HTTP requests. They must perform the Role::Tiny role
WWW::OAuth::Request. Custom container classes can be instantiated
directly or via "oauth_request" in WWW::OAuth::Util.
Basic
WWW::OAuth::Request::Basic contains the request attributes directly,
for user agents such as HTTP::Tiny that do not use request objects.
HTTP_Request
WWW::OAuth::Request::HTTP_Request wraps a HTTP::Request object, which
is compatible with several user agents including LWP::UserAgent,
HTTP::Thin, and Net::Async::HTTP.
Mojo
WWW::OAuth::Request::Mojo wraps a Mojo::Message::Request object, which
is used by Mojo::UserAgent via Mojo::Transaction.
