Accessing Real-World APIs from Clojure

From status updates on Twitter to business data in salesforce.com, APIs enable applications to access services across the web. Most modern APIs are RESTful, and many of those use the OAuth protocol to authenticate end users for secure API access. This session provides a high-level explanation of OAuth, contrasts it with OpenID, and shows how a Clojure web app, running on Ring and Compojure, can implement OAuth and securely access web APIs.
