I have to figure out how to use OAuth 2 in order to use Deviantart api.
I got the client_id and client_secret part
Here the information they give
Endpoints
The only information you need to authenticate with us using OAuth 2.0 are the client_id
and client_secret
values for your app, as well as the endpoint shown below.
OAuth 2.0 draft 10:
https://www.deviantart.com/oauth2/draft10/authorize https://www.deviantart.com/oauth2/draft10/token
OAuth 2.0 draft 15:
https://www.deviantart.com/oauth2/draft15/authorize https://www.deviantart.com/oauth2/draft15/token
Placebo call
The first API call relying on OAuth 2.0 authentication is the placebo call. It's useful for checking that an access token is still valid before making a real API call that might be long, like a file upload. You call it with one of the following endpoints (an access token must be provided):
https://www.deviantart.com/api/draft10/placebo https://www.deviantart.com/api/draft15/placebo
You need to use the endpoint that corresponds to the OAuth 2.0 draft you've obtained your token with.
It always returns the following JSON: {status: "success"}
I have searched the web and found this awesome library.
DotNetOpenAuth v4.0.1
http://www.dotnetopenauth.net/
Added it as reference but have no idea what to do next. Even a very small example would be really useful about how to use OAuth 2
using DotNetOpenAuth;
using DotNetOpenAuth.OAuth2;
Here the page where deviantart gives the information
http://www.deviantart.com/developers/oauth2
Ok here what i got so far but not working
public static WebServerClient CreateClient() {
var desc = GetAuthServerDescription();
var client = new WebServerClient(desc, clientIdentifier: "myid");
client.ClientCredentialApplicator = ClientCredentialApplicator.PostParameter("mysecret");
return client;
}
public static AuthorizationServerDescription GetAuthServerDescription() {
var authServerDescription = new AuthorizationServerDescription();
authServerDescription.AuthorizationEndpoint = new Uri(@"https://www.deviantart.com/oauth2/draft15/authorize");
authServerDescription.TokenEndpoint = new Uri(@"https://www.deviantart.com/oauth2/draft15/token");
authServerDescription.ProtocolVersion = ProtocolVersion.V20;
return authServerDescription;
}
Easiest thing to do now is get Visual Studio 2013 and create a new ASP.NET Web Application choosing "Individual User Accounts" as your authentication type. There's a working OAuth 2 implementation out of the box in there (configured at App_Start\Startup.Auth.cs) which you can slice out and then adapt to your needs.
