NAME

OAuthomatic::OAuthInteraction - handle browser redirects happening during OAuth initial exchange

VERSION

version 0.0202

SYNOPSIS

$oauth_interaction->prepare_to_work();
say "Please, spawn browser on ", $oauth_interaction->callback_url;
my $app_cred = $oauth_interaction->wait_for_oauth_grant();
$oauth_interaction->cleanup_after_work();

DESCRIPTION

APIs required from module responsible for receiving completion of access-granting interaction with the OAuth-protected site.

Main problem resolved here is that OAuth authorization is completed by browser redirect, with tokens crucial for the process provided in URL. This module is about receiving this redirect and extracting this info.

Default implementation - OAuthomatic::OAuthInteraction::ViaMicroWeb - spawns embedded temporary webserver on local address.

METHODS

callback_url()

Which url should be given to access-granting website as URL for final callback.

It may be localhost address (it suffices that it works in local browser, need not be reachable from internet).

In extreme case some fake address can be used and user instructed to copy and paste it to the application when prompted.

wait_for_oauth_grant() => Verifier(...)

Wait until callback is received, extract and return obtained tokens. Return undef in case obtained results are invalid.

prepare_to_work()

Prepare and start anything necessary to handle other calls (in particular, to receive call to "callback url").

Example implementation starts separate thread with temporary webserver.

cleanup_after_work()

Called once object is no longer needed, may cleanup whatever "prepare_to_work" initialized or started.
