OAuth1 Authorization Block

OAuth 1.0 is a secure protocol that allows an application to access protected resources on behalf of a user — without directly sharing their credentials. It uses a signature-based approach, combining consumer keys, tokens, and cryptographic signing to verify each request’s authenticity.

Voiden supports OAuth 1.0 authentication as well, enabling you to connect with APIs that require this older but still widely used standard (such as some legacy or enterprise systems).

Try it Out

1. In your Voiden file, type /auth-oauth1 and press Enter to create an Authorization Digest Block.

2. Fill the required params for the block.
3. Hit Cmd + Enter (Mac) or Ctrl + Enter (Windows/Linux) to run the request
   or click the green Play button in the toolbar.

Block Parameters

Parameter	Value	Description
consumer_key	string	The public identifier for the client application, issued by the API provider. It tells the server which application is making the request.
consumer_secret	string	The private key associated with the consumer key. It’s used along with the token secret to sign requests and verify authenticity.
access_token	string	A token that represents the user’s authorization and grants the client access to protected resources.
token_secret	string	A secret associated with the access token. Used together with the consumer secret to generate the request signature.
signature_method	string	The algorithm used to sign the request (e.g., HMAC-SHA1, RSA-SHA1, or PLAINTEXT). It ensures the request hasn’t been tampered with during transmission.

Summary

OAuth1 signs each request with your consumer key, consumer secret, access token, and token secret — no bearer token flying around unprotected, just a cryptographic signature proving authenticity. Add it with /auth-oauth1 and fill in those five fields whenever you're connecting to a legacy or enterprise API that still relies on this older standard.
