About:
Liboauth is a C library implementing the OAuth Core RFC 5849 standard. It provides functions to handle authentication flows and signed API requests for services that use OAuth 1.0. The library is lightweight and designed for easy integration into C-based applications.

Key Features:

RFC 5849 compliant
Supports HMAC-SHA1 and RSA-SHA1 signing
Minimal dependencies
Includes command-line tools for testing

Use Cases:

Authenticating C applications with OAuth 1.0 APIs
Building command-line tools that interact with protected web services

Alternatives:

libcurl – libcurl handles HTTP but does not provide OAuth 1.0 signature generation; Liboauth fills this specific cryptographic gap.
