Question 1

How do I add a custom OAuth 1.0 provider with this library?

Accepted Answer

Extend the base Server class and implement the necessary methods for your provider's API endpoints, following the extensible architecture outlined in the README. Examples and community packages can serve as references for customization.

Question 2

Can I use this library with Laravel or Symfony?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can be integrated into any PHP framework via Composer, but it doesn't include framework-specific bindings out-of-the-box. You'll need to handle dependency injection and configuration manually or use additional packages.

Question 3

What's the difference between this and thephpleague/oauth2-client?

Accepted Answer

This library is exclusively for OAuth 1.0, while oauth2-client handles OAuth 2.0. They are separate packages, so if your project interacts with both protocols, you must manage and maintain two different libraries.

Question 4

How to securely store OAuth tokens in my PHP app?

Accepted Answer

The library provides token credentials with getIdentifier and getSecret methods, but you are responsible for storage. Use encrypted databases or secure sessions, as hinted in the examples where tokens are serialized in $_SESSION.

Question 5

Is Twitter OAuth 1.0 still supported with this library after their API changes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the built-in Twitter provider works for APIs that still use OAuth 1.0, but for newer Twitter API v2 features requiring OAuth 2.0, this library is insufficient and you'll need an alternative solution.

Question 6

How do I handle errors when OAuth authentication fails?

Accepted Answer

The README mentions that some servers like Twitter provide error parameters like 'denied', but error handling is basic. You'll need to implement custom logic for different providers, as not all follow the same error reporting patterns.
