Yedda Dev Blog

We have just released a basic C# library for OAuth (yay!), an open protocol to allow secure API authentication in a simple and standard method from desktop and web applications.

Yedda is part of the OAuth working group (among, with Twitter, Pownce, Ma.gnolia, Google, Jaiku, Flickr, SixApart and other notable individuals) and has contributed to the creation of the specification (we try to get involved and help whenever we can).

The basic C# library produces the OAuth signature which is needed in both server side and client. Additional details on the library, how to use it and its extendability mechanism can be found on this blog post on my blog.

For more information on OAuth check out the OAuth web site and blog. You can also read a great Beginner’s guide to OAuth by Eran Hammer-Lahav (If you are up to it, you can always take a look at the spec ).

We promised to share a little, so here we are… sharing!

This time, we are sharing with you a .NET / C# class that wraps most of the Twitter API in an easy to use way, providing you direct access to the various methods and output formats used on the Twitter API.

This release includes all of the APIs except Direct Message methods (expect to see that soon).

The code is released on a “AS IS” basis with no guarantee or license. Do whatever you want with it, just remember that we are not liable in any way.

Giving us some credit will be nice, though

Twitt away, have fun and tell us some of the wonderful things you are doing with the library (hmm, wrapper)
