auth requirements

[sbinet]

hi there,

I am implementing a wallabag compatible server (here: sako).
It's working rather well (if I may say so myself), and the wallabag web extension works well when directed at the sako based endpoint.

when trying to use the android-app, I have had to inject mysterious strings inside the HTML landing page:

• https://git.sr.ht/~sbinet/sako/commit/3253f8b20458b491775cd9896bb6a16d9e1d8159

(could this be documented somewhere ? I was a bit surprised by this mix of scraping HTML and using the REST API)

with that "hack", I could make android-app properly (or seemingly) authenticate with my sako server, retrieve articles into the android-app cache, and generally use that app.
however, it seems renewing the credentials doesn't work even though it does seem to work for the wallabag extension + sako (where I believe I did correctly implement the /oauth endpoint).

so, here is my question: how is the renewal of credentials supposed to work, and what sako needs to provide for android-app to work properly ?

Did you check https://github.com/di72nn/wallabag-api-wrapper? Do you already know of wallabag/wallabag#2800?

I cannot remember correctly, but the HTML strings being searched for during connection test in the app via https://github.com/wallabag/android-app/blob/master/app/src/main/java/fr/gaulupeau/apps/Poche/network/WallabagWebService.java were introduced, because in past there was no API endpoint to detect if we are at a wallabag instance with a given URL.

thanks for the api-wrapper pointer.
I am very naive when comes to java. I managed to compile the project (./gradlew build).
how would I run a modified api-wrapper-examples/src/main/java/wallabag/Main.java ?
