Having dealt with a few it seems nobody really cares about specs and just implements something that returns a token.
The result is you end up doing a load of work every single time and none of that can be used for anyone else's implementation.
I get the idea of oauth, but the implementations needed a whole lot less wiggle room, because it turns out when you're a massive corporation every other poor bastard just has to adapt to your nonsense.
Same. Ive had to create a couple of custom API wrappers and each one is significantly different especially with oauth. But it almost always comes down to getting a temp token, do a thing for a time, get another temp token, so on so forth.
