Flow: OAuth support
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

OAuth (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OAuth) presents a lot of possibilities for Flow:

  • Alternate interfaces
  • Mash-ups
  • Bots

all without having to give your password to any third parties.

It looks like posting to a board might (not tested) just work if you have the 'edit' right (which can already be passed via OAuth). But to have full support for Flow's features (hiding, deleting, etc.), I think we have to integrate the other rights into wgMWOAuthGrantPermissions.

bzimport raised the priority of this task from to Needs Triage.Nov 22 2014, 3:48 AM
bzimport set Reference to bz72998.
bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

This is something we want to do, but it will probably be on the back burner for a bit until bot's or app developers let us know they are using (or want to use) our API

I'm going to list this as my demo-able project for the hackathons.
