C# OAuth Client Library

A C# library implementing the consumer side of the OAuth 1.0 protocol (rfc5849).

Runs on Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.

NuGet Install

NuGet users can install this library by running the following command in their Package Manager Console:

PM> Install-Package OAuthClient

How to use

First of all, you have to instantiate a RequestAuthenticator, passing in your ClientCredentials and the AccessToken granted by an OAuth provider.

AccessToken accessToken = new AccessToken(ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET);
ClientCredentials credentials = new ClientCredentials(CLIENT_IDENTIFIER, CLIENT_SHARED_SECRET);
RequestAuthenticator authenticator = RequestAuthenticatorFactory.GetHmacSha1Authenticator(credentials, accessToken);

Now, to consume protected resources, WebRequest need to be signed using the authenticator that you've just created. For example, to access a Dropbox account informations, one would do:

WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create("https://api.dropbox.com/1/account/info");
authenticator.SignRequest(req);
string response = ReadResponse(req);

Behind the scene, the authenticator will add an Authorization header to your request.

Request Authenticators

RequestAuthenticator is an interface specifying a method for signing WebRequest.

public interface RequestAuthenticator
{
    void SignRequest(WebRequest request);
}

Authenticators implementing HMAC-SHA1, RSA-SHA1 and PLAINTEXT signature are provided. Instances are created through a factory, RequestAuthenticatorFactory, which expose three static factory methods.

RequestAuthenticator GetPlainTextAuthenticator(ClientCredentials credentials, AccessToken token);
RequestAuthenticator GetHmacSha1Authenticator(ClientCredentials credentials, AccessToken token);
RequestAuthenticator GetRsaSha1Authenticator(ClientCredentials credentials, AccessToken token, RSAParameters key);

All request authenticators are thread-safe.

Limitations

Doesn't support POST requests with url encoded body.

Tests

Unit tests are grouped in the OAuth.Tests project.
Integration tests are grouped in the OAuth.Tests.Integration project. Integration tests perform requests to several OAuth providers, ensuring a minimal level of interoperability.

NUnit is required to run both test suite.
