POCan I have a server web app layer get an accessToken with oauth, vimeo, and scribe?
text
Body
copied!<p>I want to build a java web app which can be queried via ajax to ask for a various vimeo data like albums, videos, etc. The browser client side will then use this information to create a vimeo player with the data like the video url, sizes, etc. I don't want each user to have to verify access to vimeo, I want the server to act as the middle man to n users on browsers. </p> <p>I started using the scribe api to oauth and at first I thought after I get a authorization url I could copy that into a browser then get a verifier code and hardwire the request token and verifier code into the service.getAccessToken() call. This worked fine for my testing. however, when I returned the next day the request token I hardwired stopped working with a 401 - possibly expired oauth token. </p> <p>So if the token can expire my question is do I have to get a new access token for every user session and check to see if it's expired with some frequency? If I have to get a new access token with every user, then how would the server get the verifier code? Normally a user would go thru the browser pages and get the verifier code that way but it seems like there should be a way to allow the server to get this verifier code. Seems like I could write some java network code to parse and post these pages but that just doesn't sound right.</p> <p>I'm new to oauth and the vimeo api so I could be thinking about this in the wrong way so alternative directions would be appreciated too.</p> <p>Thanks, Miro</p>
