oauth in ruby

Here’s an example of how to use the oauth gem in Ruby to authenticate a user and then retrieve some data from an API:

main.rb
require 'oauth'
require 'json'

# Set up the OAuth credentials
consumer_key = 'consumer_key_here'
consumer_secret = 'consumer_secret_here'
access_token = 'access_token_here'
access_token_secret = 'access_token_secret_here'

# Set up the OAuth client
consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new(consumer_key, consumer_secret, site: 'https://api.example.com')
access_token = OAuth::AccessToken.new(consumer, access_token, access_token_secret)

# Make a request to the API
response = access_token.get('/api/v1/data.json')

# Parse the response
data = JSON.parse(response.body)

puts data
572 chars
21 lines

In this example, you would need to replace consumer_key_here, consumer_secret_here, access_token_here, and access_token_secret_here with the appropriate values for your OAuth credentials. You would also need to replace https://api.example.com with the base URL of the API you’re interacting with, and replace /api/v1/data.json with the path to the specific endpoint you want to access.

Note that there are other OAuth gems available for Ruby, such as omniauth and oauth2, which may be more suitable depending on your specific use case.
