OAuth 2.0 Playground: open to developers

In November 2011, Google announced the OAuth 2.0 Playground, a tool designed to help developers experiment with and understand the OAuth 2.0 protocol, which had been adopted by all Google Web APIs as the recommended authorization mechanism. This interactive tool allows users to simulate and navigate through the OAuth 2.0 flow for server-side web applications, including authorizing API scopes, exchanging authorization tokens, and sending authorized requests to API endpoints, with full visibility of HTTP requests and responses at each step. The Playground also supports testing non-Google APIs that comply with OAuth 2.0 draft 10 by using custom OAuth endpoints. Developers can generate deep links to specific Playground states for easy access to replay requests, and feedback or questions are welcomed in the OAuth Playground forum. Nicolas Garnier, a Developer Advocate at Google, emphasized the tool’s usefulness for developers working with Google Apps and Web APIs.
