GET oauth/authorize

Updated on Tue, 2012-09-04 21:02

Allows a Consumer application to use an OAuth Request Token to request user authorization. This method fulfills Section 6.2 of the OAuth 1.0 authentication flow. Desktop applications must use this method (and cannot use GET oauth/authenticate).

Please use HTTPS for this method, and all other OAuth token negotiation steps.

Usage Note: An oauth_callback is never sent to this method, provide it to POST oauth/request_token instead.
