Warwick Web Sign-on OAuth Services is one of 8 APIs that [University of Warwick](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-warwick/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Authentication, Identity, and Education. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and authentication docs.

OAuth 1.0a delegated access to Warwick web services — Sitebuilder (separate read and edit scopes), Warwick Search, Files.Warwick, Warwick Blogs, Warwick Forums, Exam Timetabling, Printer Credits and Web Sign-on itself. Signed with RSA-SHA1 or HMAC-SHA1. Uses a Warwick-specific `scope` parameter that is not part of the OAuth standard and cannot travel in the Authorization header. Applications must be registered with the ITS Web Team before a token will be issued. Note this is OAuth 1.0a, not OAuth 2.0, and there is no OIDC discovery document — /.well-known/openid-configuration returns 404.
