Re: How to use the web authentication

[Paul Mach]

Hi Klaasjan,

The only type of authentication supported by the API is OAuth2. The flow is described in detail here http://strava.github.io/api/v3/oauth/  But basically you need to redirect the user to an authorization page and when they accept, complete the token exchange using your client_id and client_secret.

Are you developing a desktop application, or a mobile application? Depending on what you're trying to do, OAuth can be difficult in a desktop app.

Hi,

We are developping and windows application and want to connect with Strava.

The user of our software must log in with his credentials.

I understand there are 2 options, static and via web.

Static, i think, is not an option. because the token is user depent?

So I want to use the webauthentication. I can't find documentation to use the webauthentication. Is the API suitable to use webauthentication..

The code I saw in the master example does not help me much.

Does anyone has a example in C# or vb.net ?

Thanks

Klaasjan
