<p><strong><a href="http://mojodna.net/2009/08/21/exploring-oauth-protected-apis.html">Exploring OAuth-Protected APIs</a></strong></p> One of the downsides of OAuth is that it makes debugging APIs in your browser much harder. Seth Fitzsimmons’ oauth-proxy solves this by running a Twisted-powered proxy on your local machine which OAuth-signs every request going through it using your consumer key, secret and tokens for that API. Using it with a browsers risks exposing your key and token (but not secret) to sites you accidentally browse to—it would be useful if you could pass a whitelist of API domains as a command line option to the proxy. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/apis">apis</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/oauth">oauth</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/proxies">proxies</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/python">python</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/seth-fitzsimmons">seth-fitzsimmons</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/twisted">twisted</a></p>
