8095 Hello!

I'm trying to get a client going for the HP TouchPad and I'm having some trouble with OAuth. This is only my second OAuth app, so forgive my ignorance.

On the dropbox API there is an endpoint named /token.

Essentially, since I'm a client and can't do the whole callback thing, I get a request token then pass username/password to that endpoint to get an access token, skipping the authorization URL. I think this is called two-legged OAuth?

Anyway, is there an equivalent of this on the Goodreads api?

Thanks in advance!
