What is OAuth

OAuth is an authentication process through which we can access an external application data.

For example, if your application wants to talk to facebook or twitter and get some information and use it in your application. The information will be accessed by using an API of that particular site.

You need to visit the site and get the information. You need not send userid and password to share the resources.

To access any API using OAuth, Visit the site url of service provider where we need to register.Fill up the details.

Get API key, Consumer Key and Consumer secret key from relevant site.Use it in your application through url.
