But wait, user is not the same as consumer according to that primer. That is what's so confusing about this. OAuth2 seems to be designed for the case where I write an app that someone else will use to access a provider's data. I just want to get data from the API myself, so I guess that collapses I and someone else. But then I have to somehow authorize myself to get the data, as if I were not me? If perlmonks had emojis, I would totally insert that exploding head one right here.

    Have you even tried the curl command to get the auth token from them? It seems like if you signed up, got a "secret", and made that call you'd be 90% there. Are you on Windows or something and don't have a decent commandline?
