Configure OAuth 1.0a Authentication for REST

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.SetAuthOAuth1, which associates an OAuth1 provider so Chilkat computes the OAuth 1.0/1.0a signature for each request. The second argument selects whether OAuth parameters are placed in the query string or the Authorization header.

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local rest = chilkat.Rest.new()
local bTls = true
local bAutoReconnect = true
local success = rest:connect("example.com", 443, bTls, bAutoReconnect)
if not success then
    print(rest.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Configure OAuth 1.0a request signing.  Provide the consumer credentials and the access token
-- credentials; Chilkat computes the OAuth signature for each request.
local oauth1 = chilkat.OAuth1.new()
-- Normally you would not hard-code secrets in source.  You should instead obtain them from an
-- interactive prompt, environment variable, or a secrets vault.
oauth1.consumer_key = "CONSUMER_KEY"
oauth1.consumer_secret = "CONSUMER_SECRET"
oauth1.token = "ACCESS_TOKEN"
oauth1.token_secret = "ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET"
oauth1.signature_method = "HMAC-SHA1"

-- The 2nd argument selects whether OAuth parameters are placed in the query string (true) or the
-- Authorization header (false).
local bUseQueryParams = false
success = rest:set_auth_oauth1(oauth1, bUseQueryParams)
if not success then
    print(rest.last_error_text)
    return
end

local responseText = rest:full_request_no_body("GET", "/api/resource")
if not rest.last_method_success then
    print(rest.last_error_text)
    return
end

print(responseText)
