OAuth Information

OAuth is an open protocol to allow secure authentication to users' private data. It's far more secure than users giving out their passwords.

Users

OAuth is nearly transparent to end users. Through OAuth, other applications can have secure -- and time-limited -- read and write access to your data on this site.

Applications may ask you to authorize a 'token' on our site. This is normal. We want to make sure you approve of other people looking at your data.

Consumers

This application supports OAuth. If you'd like to access the private resources of users of this site, you must first establish a Consumer Key, Consumer Secret, and, if applicable, RSA public key with us. You can do so by contacting us.

Once you have a Consumer Key and Consumer Secret, you may begin letting users grant you access to our site. The relevant URLs are:

Request a Request Token

http://hiveminder.com/oauth/request_token

Obtain user authorization for a Request Token

http://hiveminder.com/oauth/authorize

Exchange a Request Token for an Access Token

http://hiveminder.com/oauth/access_token

While you have a valid access token, you may browse the site as the user normally does. You may also use our REST interface.
