Is it possible to use OAuth/Google AuthSub with just JavaScript?

It seems very hard or downright impossible to take advantage of them purely in JavaScript, without a server side script (like one in PHP) helping (like masking the secret key.) However, I can only use JavaScript on this project. Is it still possible to use AuthSub or OAuth?

Solution

  • You can't use OAuth without doing crypto in browser, but you can use AuthSub. In fact google have a client library that makes it really easy :-
