Sending a request via Oauth 2.0

[Flavio]

Hi, I am new to this platform and I am trying to send a request via Oauth 2.0 

I have two questions: 

1 - As the 'request' module has been deprecated, how do I send a call by authenticating with Oauth 2.0? I don't know the code to type.

2 - What are the allowed IP addresses? I am making a project which will be launched online, how will I add every user's  IP address to the white list?

Thank you for every reply.

Hi Flavio,

Regarding IP addresses:

To better secure OAuth 2.0 we implemented IP Restrictions.

This restrictions 'white list' IP Addresses for a given client Key/Secret.

We block requests to FatSecret API for a Key/Secret if the source IP is not white listed.Before releasing IP ranges we allowed only 15 specific IP addressesThe new 'ranges' allows users to white list up to 15 ranges of IP addresses.

Example: 0.0.0.0/0 => is a range that allows any IPV4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing

For Mobile apps we would recommend using an API proxy server to avoid Mobile Apps communicating directly with FatSecret APIs.

This proxy should be responsible for:

-          Manage the validity / renewal of your OAuth 2.0 access tokens
-          Forward any FatSecret related requests to FatSecret APIs
 
We would like to ask you to avoid having your client’s credentials part of your Mobile App source code / configuration.

For further technical assistance, please consult with our dedicated group forum.

Kind regards,
The FatSecret Platform API Team

Hello @Flavio,
A good way to implement this api, do not call it from frontend directly. 

1) generate the token from the backend 
2) register your backend's IP address on the fatsecret developer console
3) now everytime you call the api through your backend server.

Thank you :)

Thank you for the answer.

I will use a proxy as requested, and I will put my credentials there.
