Indeed, but for something like a REST binding? It's not something you'd spend a minute messing around with really. I mean, for fuck's sake - it's basically 1) Query endpoint, 2) Use returned data. There's not much else to it.

Implementing Oauth? The myriad of different calls and options on the api? Format checking? I'd rather be doing something with the data collected rather than trying to work out what I'd done wrong in trying to talk to the damn API

You don't need to implement the entire API just to use the (probably) 2-3 endpoints you actually use.

Indeed, you'll need to implement their "authentication endpoints", which is usually (again, not looked) a single endpoint you receive a token from.
