Goodreads Developers discussion

How do you get a user token? Is it the same as the user developer key that you get after you register? What is the difference between user token and request token? What is the difference between user secret and request secret? Please help!

Hey Sharanya, to learn about how OAuth works, the difference between access token / request token / secret, read one of the many guides available online. For instance, this is a good start:

http://oauth.net/documentation/gettin...

There are also many frameworks for iOS / Android / your environment of choice that make it easier to integrate OAuth into your project.

Thank you Ettore! All I wanted to know is, How do we get our user token?

This page explains how to request access via oauth:

there are also some examples:

thank you once again Ettore, I was just browsing through the Apis of godreads coded in eclipse. I got an api, is there any example code of goodreads with eclipse availabe? I mean that, which, once put on eclipse could readily be used as an app?

I do not think we have any existing plug and play eclipse stuff unfortunately.

Hi can anyone please let me know is there any oauth endpoints in goodreads (like https://www.goodreads.com/oauth/autho...) which I can use for oauth or should i have to use some library to connect to goodreads via oauth and use its api's and if so then can you please also suggest which library should i use for oauth in php
and I prefer to do this by curl

Thanks
