I have added Image upload facility to my app: http://tdash.org/ I am game for providing an OAuth based image upload API if other apps are interested. (Esp non-browser / mobile apps). I will be doing it anyway; contacting me now will probably help shape up the API and my priorities. Feel free to contact me off-list as well. cheers, -- Harshad RJ http://hrj.wikidot.com

The Twitter API doesn't currently support OAuth delegation, so a user wanting to use your site to upload a photo to one third-party site and tweet about it would have to authenticate twice, once from your site to the photo site (to do the upload) and a second time from your site to Twitter (to send the tweet, since it's not possible for the photo site to use the credentials from their login on your site to tweet on their behalf). Offhand, I do know of one site which takes OAuth logins and accepts photo uploads, but: a) It's a fishing niche site, so non-fishing photos wouldn't be entirely welcome there, b) it does not provide an API, OAuth-based or otherwise, and c) I had to write it myself. -- Dave Sherohman

Well for an oauth token to be used, the API would need the consumer key as well. Would applications share their consumer key with the photo service?

[twitter-dev] Twitter Photo service for oauth clients
Hi all, Are any of you aware of a photo service that allows picture uploads from my oauth based Twitter client? The Api for all the usual suspects (twitpic, yfrog, tweetphoto, etc) requires passing of the user's Twitter username and password, but being an oauth client, I don't have the user's password available to me. How are other oauth based clients dealing with this? It seems my only option is building my own, but I'd rather hook into an existing service. Looking forward to your feedback! Thanks, Michael
