Webshell







Thibaud Arnault
Co-founder & CEO




We started at school a social network

Using more than 15 APIs

The story: humankindwall




The iNtegration


Horrible





The maintenance



Painfull



Webshell.io

Our first attempt to simplify the API integration and maintenance

A platform & an API

A shell ... for the web



We PivoteD fastly to javascript



Not "another new language"

50x faster

100x less bugs

Example



apis.facebook.auth().success(function() {
    apis.facebook.me()
})

apis.google.maps()

apis.youtube.search('bob marley')

apis.gravatar('team@webshell.io')

An API explorer

More than 500 oauth provider

To start with oauth


Create a Facebook application on developers.facebook.com

OAuth 2 protocol 


OAuth 2 protocol

2- Redirection
www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth/authorize

client_id=...
response_type=code
scope=email,read_friendlists...
state=...
redirect_uri=http://myapp.com/





3 - Authorize callback

http://myapp.com/?code=...&state=...


4 - Retrieve the access token

POST graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token

code=...
client_id=...
client_secret=...
grant_type=authorization_code


Once you have the access token


you have to pass the access_token in each API request 


i.e.
https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=...
