Anonymous — Tue, 18 Dec 2018 10:14:41 GMT

Hey All,

I am currently struggling on how to connect the the Xero Accounting API via talend, There is no option for oAuth 1.0 in the tRESTClient and am currently stuck to on how I should do this...

Any ideas?

Hello,

We have OAuth 1.0 client utilities in CXF so one option is to use either tREST or tRESTClient with tJava sitting in from of tREST and preparing an OAuth 1.0 signature . tREST would simply pass along HTTP Authorization headers with all OAuth 1.0 parameters listed.

I have never used camel components... Is there a guide on how to? or an example of how to configure an oAuth1.0 using one?

From what I am aware from searching online I will require Talend ESB to use CXF/Camel components... I am using Talend DI is there any way to do oAuth1.0a using Talend DI?

Yes... I am aware. This is where the issue is happening, I cannot figure out how to generate a valid oAuth1.0a signature using Talend components. I have even tried writing a routine that does this with no help.

oAuth1.0a is a pretty old method of obtaining application access but there is no content available on how to get this working in Talend.

For example for Public applications you will require a 3-legged oAuth approach - this requires generating a new token every 30 minutes.

Private application is 2-legged oAuth - This will avoid regenerating a token every 30 minutes but will need to create a valid oAuth1.0 Authorization header to do this..

I was just hoping there would be a component or some sort of repository on how to get this working in Talend.
