I would like to allow my users to purchase their own beacons, log into their account from my app, and get a list of their beacons. Are there any tutorials or examples to get me started. I am a new and programing in swift. Is this a case for OAuth?
Yup, that’d be OAuth (:
Here’s our guide:
http://developer.estimote.com/cloud/oauth/
If you want to try it out, ping me via a private message with the following info:
- name of your app/platform, as will be shown to users when asking if they want to grant your app access
- domain name and port (if using a non-stanard one, i.e., 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS) authorized to receive callbacks (e.g., if you want the callback received at “https://my.app.com/estimote/callback”, that’ll be “https://my.app.com”)
If you need some more info about how OAuth works, there’s a ton of well-written and approachable tutorials and descriptions on the Internet already, so I’ll defer to these.
