+Requests-OAuthlib
+=================
+
+This project provides first-class OAuth library support for `Requests <http://python-requests.org>`_.
+
+The OAuth 1 workflow
+--------------------
+
+OAuth 1 can seem overly complicated and it sure has its quirks. Luckily,
+requests_oauthlib hides most of these and let you focus at the task at hand.
+
+Accessing protected resources using requests_oauthlib is as simple as:
+
+.. code-block:: pycon
+
+    >>> from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1Session
+    >>> twitter = OAuth1Session('client_key',
+                                client_secret='client_secret',
+                                resource_owner_key='resource_owner_key',
+                                resource_owner_secret='resource_owner_secret')
+    >>> url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1/account/settings.json'
+    >>> r = twitter.get(url)
+
+Before accessing resources you will need to obtain a few credentials from your
+provider (i.e. Twitter) and authorization from the user for whom you wish to
+retrieve resources for. You can read all about this in the full
+`OAuth 1 workflow guide on RTD <http://requests-oauthlib.readthedocs.org/en/latest/oauth1_workflow.html>`_.
+
+The OAuth 2 workflow
+--------------------
+
+OAuth 2 is generally simpler than OAuth 1 but comes in more flavours. The most
+common being the Authorization Code Grant, also known as the WebApplication
+flow.
+
+Fetching a protected resource after obtaining an access token can be as simple as:
+
+.. code-block:: pycon
+
+    >>> from requests_oauthlib import OAuth2Session
+    >>> google = OAuth2Session(r'client_id', token=r'token')
+    >>> url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo'
+    >>> r = google.get(url)
+
+Before accessing resources you will need to obtain a few credentials from your
+provider (i.e. Google) and authorization from the user for whom you wish to
+retrieve resources for. You can read all about this in the full
+`OAuth 2 workflow guide on RTD <http://requests-oauthlib.readthedocs.org/en/latest/oauth2_workflow.html>`_.
+
