Any experience with Etsy OAuth API?

[TinyNinja]

Hello VFP Community,

I have hit a wall with Etsy OAuth. I've been trying to figure this out for a week now and went down the rabbit hole of searches.
I have looked over Etsy's overview guides and struggled to get the results they show. I did a few searches through their forums and still confused.

I have a developer account with Etsy and have my Keystring & Shared secret ready to go for my project.

I have used MSXML2.XMLHTTP.6.0 to connect to Etsy's API and got that working. In one of my searches I found people using WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1 for other things and the comments mentioned OAuth, is this able to use OAuth?

I have looked over and tried to figure out Olaf's amazing creations VFPOAuth & VFPTweetAPI but struggle when it comes to the token request and storing feature. I'm not fully sure which items need to be changed to satisfy Etsy's requirements. I must be not filling in the correct info because no external window opens up with a token to fill in with. I'm also not sure the best way to save the token once I do get it.

Could someone please give me a push in the right direction please?

It's good to finally resolve something.

I wouldn't have guessed it'll have to do with the Chilkat classes multithreading. That should be handled completely internal, as VFP has no hands in that at all.
It's good to know this, though I wonder why this isn't incorporated in the VFP sample code, that is specifically for VFP.

Bye, Olaf.
