Welcome to the OBP-API wiki!

####Application registration OBP protected resources use OAuth. You can use one of our sandboxes (register here) to test. You will get a consumer key and consumer secret for the calls requiring OAuth authentication.

####OAuth The best way to get started with OBP and OAuth is probably to fork one of our Starter SDKs. They take care of the basic OAuth flow.

####Direct Login / JWT For hackathons and highly trusted applicaitons we offer a "direct login" using JWT. See the SDK page for an example

We're sometimes asked about OAuth 1 and 2. So far we stick with OAuth 1.0a because it's stable (RFC) is used by the likes of Twitter and Mastercard and according to the lead author of OAuth is more secure than OAuth2. For more info, see OAuth 2 and the road to hell or this stack overflow article
