Authentication

The goal of this assignment is to understand API access control by building a third-party application for a web service.

Task

You're free to choose any website, but if this is your first time interacting with an API we recommend using the Twitter API. As in Lab 1, you will submit a write-up that documents your application. **Note: receiving API keys can take several days! We highly recommend that you request API access as soon as possible.  **

Submission

Your submission should include:

1. A description or explanation of how the web service you choose handles access control. While some access control schemes are simple to explain, some are more complicated. A good diagram can make explaining an access control scheme much easier. 

2. A description of your app. The app does not need to be super complicated. It can be as simple as posting a tweet or getting a list of a specific user's followers. 

3. Proof that your app works. You can submit anything from a JSON returned from the API to a screen recording of your app in action. Again, this does not need to be anything complex but it should be clear that your app functions as outlined in the description. 

Please submit everyone in a zip file. You're free to submit any code you used for your app!
