Allowing Users to Get Their Own OAuth Tokens for Accessing an API
#ICYDK: I run a lot of different applications that depend on GitHub and that use GitHub authentication as the identity and access management layer for these apps. One of the things I like the most about GitHub and how I feel it handles it’s OAuth more thoroughly than most other platforms is how they let you get your own OAuth token under your settings > developer settings > personal access tokens. You don’t need to set up an application and do the whole OAuth dance, you just get a token that you can use to pass along with each API call.
I operate my own OAuth server, which allows me to authenticate using OAuth with many leading APIs, so generating an OAuth token and setting up a new provider isn’t too hard. However, it is always much easier to go under my account settings, create a new personal access token for a specific purpose, and get to work playing with an API. I wish that ALL API providers did this. At first glance, it looks like GitLab, Harvest, TypeForm, and ContentFul all provide personal access tokens as a first option for on-boarding with their APIs. Demonstrating this is more of a pattern than just a GitHub feature. https://goo.gl/gnCd75 #DataIntegration #ML
