List of OAUTH Supported Platforms (lemmy.ca)

So, my boyfriend and I are making this Android app. My first post for more info. I was wondering if mastodon has an OAuth feature where I could use to sign in with it via my Android app.

I’m also wondering in that in terms of API, do most programmers mean the key (API Key) or a way for a program to integrate anonymously with a platform.

Likewise, I’ve always been confused when it came to API access. Looking for clarification.

I never developed anything for mastodon, but I searched "mastodon developer docs" and found a link for API specifications https://docs.joinmastodon.org/api/

There's a section for OAuth in there, hope this helps you.

UPDATE: It doesn't seem to need an API key, since the website never mentions it. Here's another doc to get started with their API: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/client/intro/
