=== Differences between OAuth 1.0 and 2.0 ===
Though they both follow the above pattern, OAuth 1.0 and 2.0 are incompatible at the protocol level. The important design differences arequite different:
* In OAuth 1.0, API call authentication requires both the user-specific secret and the data-consumer secret. In OAuth 2.0, only the user-specific secret is needed to authenticate API calls.
