OAuth for social media apps, explained

OAuth for social media apps is the standard that lets you grant an app limited access to your account without sharing your password. You sign in on the platform itself, and it issues the app access (and refresh) tokens scoped to specific permissions — which you can revoke at any time without changing your password.

OAuth for social media apps: how SkedCast implements it#

SkedCast's own developer-facing connections use OAuth 2.1 with mandatory PKCE — the current, more secure version of the standard — and dynamic client registration, so no manual app setup is required on either side.

The standard also supports scopes narrower than full account access — for example, a scope limited to reading analytics but not publishing — so a connecting app only requests the permissions it actually needs.

FAQ

Does connecting an account with OAuth give SkedCast my password?
No — OAuth is specifically designed so the app never sees your password. You authenticate directly on the platform, and only a scoped access token is shared with the connecting app.
