Authorization OAuth 1.0 in Katalon Studio

To learn more about OAuth 1.0, you can refer to OAuth documentation: OAuth Core 1.0 Revision A.

The following fields are supported in Katalon Studio:

NameDescription
Consumer KeyThe API key associated with the application (Twitter, Facebook, etc.). This key (or 'client ID', as Facebook calls it) is what identifies the client, which is a website/service that is trying to access an end-user's resources.
Consumer SecretThe client password that is used to authenticate with the authentication server, which is a Twitter/Facebook/etc. server that authenticates the client.
Signature MethodThe consumer uses either HMAC-SHA1 or RSA-SHA1 to sign the request. For signature method RSA-SHA1, only OpenSSL RSA Private key with PKCS#8 or PKCS#1 format is supported.
TokenWhat is issued to the client once the client successfully authenticates itself (using the consumer key & secret). This access token defines the privileges of the client (what data the client can and cannot access).
Token SecretThe string sent with the access token as a password.
RealmThe Provider basically decides if this is of any importance. It is the counterpart of the WWW-authenticate response header. If a server returns a WWW-authenticate header of 'OAuth realm="https://api.example.com"' then it probably parses that value from the Authenticate request header in the OAuth process.
