Hello guys,

I am trying to do an windows phone app for Plancast using PhoneGap (html5) and I am a beginner.

I saw on your group that Oauth is not available but since the message is from the last year I am wondering if there any changes.

Those who developed apps for plancast, what did they use?

Thank you.

Hi Soumow,

Currently, our api uses http basic auth, so an api request would
actually be something like:

http://username:pass...@api.plancat.com/...

How you set the username and password values will be dependent on the
library you are using to make requests, for example, using curl on the
command line you could do:

$ curl --user username:password http://api.plancast.com/...

We currently have no plans to add OAuth support, so you will have to
prompt for the user's plancast username and password.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you Jay,

What about sign in using Facebook and Twitter?

To use the api they have to have a Plancast specific username and
password. While annoying, in practice, most people that would use a
dedicated Plancast application will likely have a username and
password already, so it shouldn't be a problem.
