Features

• Secure:

Users are not required to share their passwords with 3rd party applications, increasing account security.

• Standard:

A wealth of client libraries and example code are compatible with SoFurry's OAuth implementation.

• Easy:

Using OAuth is easy for both users and developers. All a user has to do to grant access to a certain application is to click on the "Authorize" button on SoFurry when asked.

Authorization types (Grant types)

SoFurry supports multiple grant types:

• Authorization code
• Client credentials
• User credentials

Though, to provide better security, only the "Authorization code" and "Client credential" type can be used by 3rd-party developers.

Furthermore, SoFurry also supports refresh tokens.
