Acts as a callback target for CLI-based oauth1 authorization flows

VERIFIER.DEREF.LINK

Provides a static HTML page that reads query strings and turns them into copy-pastable fields.

WHY?

I was writing a command-line utility that needed to interface with two separate OAuth1.0a-based APIs, and I found the process to be not quite user-friendly. There was a particularly big gap in the step of generating a Request token. The user would have to open a link in their browser, confirm the permissions request, and then the browser would need to be sent to a callback URL to capture the oauth_verifier value.

But CLI tools do not have a callback URL.

VERIFIER intends to be a generic callback URL destination.

HOW?

This sculpin-based project can be built using Composer. Make sure you also have yarn installed.

composer install
yarn install
composer build

This will create the necessary HTML and JS assets to render the page, writing them into the output_prod directory. That directory can then be synchronized to a web server for hosting.
