Do not force a public API to authenticate via OAuth. It forces the client to boot up an http server even if the API is not used for a web app.

08/18/2017, 7:13 PMHuh? You're using a http api that needs authentication and then you're complaining it needs a http server?

08/18/2017, 7:17 PMDude, you need to authenticate to use their API. I don’t have an option. My complain is that the API should not necessarily require OAuth authentication. Just because I need to access an http API doesn’t mean that I am going to be using it from an http server.
