In almost all social media Apis, you need to authenticate your app with Oauth to be able to use its features.

How is this process?

In my case, I am trying to bring a list of followers of a particular blog by v2 of the Tumblr API, using the Javascript client: http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api/v2

I tried to look for some solution in the documentation of oauth.net but everything got very confusing for me.

In a google search I found some things that can help you understand how it works and how it is, in Diogo’s blog has an explanation to better detail what it is and how it works the first sight is very complicated even because it runs a little away from what we are used to do "simple login and password screens".

Explanation of what and how it works (Blog Diogo)

In the case of tumblr does not have much difference twitter or facebook, giving a google search I found some examples in php and javascript that can help you, I think it is easier to see the code and run to understand faster.

No links have quite example, and also this wordpress plugin that can help you too.

1 - Javascript Thumblr API and Documentation

2 - PHP API Thumblr and Documentation

3 - Wordpress plugin
