OAuth::getAccessToken

(PECL OAuth >= 0.99.1)

Fetch an access token

public array OAuth::getAccessToken ( string $access_token_url [, string $auth_session_handle [, string $verifier_token [, string $http_method ]]] )

Fetch an access token, secret and any additional response parameters from the service provider.

Parameters:

access_token_url

URL to the access token API.

auth_session_handle

Authorization session handle, this parameter does not have any citation in the core OAuth 1.0 specification but may be implemented by large providers. » See ScalableOAuth for more information.

verifier_token

For service providers which support 1.0a, a verifier_token must be passed while exchanging the request token for the access token. If the verifier_token is present in $_GET or $_POST it is passed automatically and the caller does not need to specify a verifier_token (usually if the access token is exchanged at the oauth_callback URL). » See ScalableOAuth for more information.

http_method

HTTP method to use, e.g. GET or POST.

Returns:

Returns an array containing the parsed OAuth response on success or FALSE on failure.

Changelog:

1.0.0

Previously returned NULL on failure, instead of FALSE.

0.99.9

The verifier_token parameter was added

Examples:

OAuth::getAccessToken() example

<?php
try {
    $oauth = new OAuth(OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY,OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET);
    $oauth->setToken($request_token,$request_token_secret);
    $access_token_info = $oauth->getAccessToken("https://example.com/oauth/access_token");
    if(!empty($access_token_info)) {
        print_r($access_token_info);
    } else {
        print "Failed fetching access token, response was: " . $oauth->getLastResponse();
    }
} catch(OAuthException $E) {
    echo "Response: ". $E->lastResponse . "\n";
}
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Array
(
    [oauth_token] => some_token
    [oauth_token_secret] => some_token_secret
)
