How to use oAuth tokens

Question

I'm using a library to get an 'oAuth_token' and 'oAuth_token_secret'.

If I make a request to a REST web service how are those two keys leveraged to verify authentication?

Answer 1

Providing a C# example is a little difficult because there are a number of variables i.e. the signature method being used, additional parameters the service might be expecting etc. which would affect the complexity of the example.

I've developed an open source OAuth library for .Net and posted an article on beginning to use OAuth that might help to get you started - I tried to find a developers page / API specification to brightkite - but because it's a beta service I don't have access - so perhaps post me a invite to this service via my blog and I can have a go at developing an example brightkite client at which point this answer can be revisited with some concrete example code useful to others.
