How to use OAUTH v1 with REST API and the Splunk Add-on Builder?

[ncrisler]

I am currently in the process of using the Splunk Add-on Builder. I want to use REST API as the data source. The issues that I am having is how to use OAUTH v1 with the Splunk Add-on Builder? The error message that I am getting is:

errors: { [-] 
      message:  Client required: but no client (client=xxx or oauth_consumer_key=xxx) present. 
      type:  unauthorized 
   } 

I have tried to specify these referenced items in the REST Request Headers, but to no success. Any Ideas?

Hi
You will need to handle this in Python and this is specific to your API.
We are planning on adding oauth support in future to make it easier and allow you to do it with less coding but not there yet.
