REST calls using one-legged OAuth 1.0a?

[Q&A] General
1

Hello,

I want to make a REST call to an application using one-legged OAuth 1.0a authentication. I have a consumer key, and a consumer secret, but I don’t understand where to implement these to make the necessary requests.

I believe I should use a RESTGetRequestToken action, followed by a RESTGetAccessToken action, and then use the token received from the GetAccessToken action in the RESTRead/RESTCreate etc. actions. However, which of the parameters should be filled by these actions to create a valid request?

There was no satisfying answer in the RESTGetAccessToken and RESTGetRequestToken actions; these were developed for three-legged OAuth 1.0a calls, where user interaction was involved.

However: I did manage to develop one-legged OAuth 1.0a authentication in our Novulo API Calls and responses component. If you update this to revision 155 (or higher), along with Novulo Basic Calls and responses to revision 559 (or higher), you can add the authentication type OAuth 1.0a and use it in your API calls.
