jsOAuth is a javascript library implimenting the OAuth protocol. jsOAuth aims to form the basis of custom clients such as Twitter and Yahoo.

Written in JavaScript, jsOAuth aims to be a fully featured open source OAuth library for use in Adobe AIR, Appcelerator Titanium and PhoneGAP. In fact, anywhere that javascript can be used and has cross-domain XMLHttpRequests.

• Single authorisation entry-point
• Debug mode for testing localy in Firefox, see index.html for example

Released under the MIT. Please see LICENSE in the project root folder for more information.

Download the minified library and include it in your html.

<script type="text/javascript" src="library/jsOAuth-0.7.4.5.min.js"></script>

This gives you a global OAuth object for you to set up and make requests with. Setting it up is simple.

<script type="text/javascript">
    var oauth, options;

    options = {
        enablePrivilege: true,
        consumerKey: 'ba9df9055c77f338',
        consumerSecret: '846ffe1ec3b18989e73fe7fff833'
    };

    oauth = OAuth(options);
</script>

Note: EnablePrivilege lets you test jsOAuth in Firefox

You'll need to replace the consumer key and secret with your own. Once that is done, you can make your authenticated 2-legged request.

<script type="text/javascript">
    oauth.get('http://oauth-sandbox.sevengoslings.net/two_legged', function (data) {
        alert(data);
    });
</script>

Hopefuly the syntax will look familier to you, if you've any kind of javscript framework such as jQuery.
