Bear's Log

Being the always curious type, I couldn’t wait for the Pownce folks to release the API officially so with some cluesticks from some of the fellow ops at irc.wyldryde.org we narrowed down the nasty little details on the auth scheme used by Pownce :)

For a while we were just plain stuck until I went back and looked over my notes from the earlier sessions and then it clicked. It’s a slightly mangled version of WSSE and with some unusual url escapes. Probably why it’s still private :)

Now I’m working on a Python library for it - don’t really want to go too public with it, after all Pownce is still Alpha. Currently you can fetch your feed items, get the sets and friends list and also post Messages and Events.

stay tuned for more
