There are all these advantages: </p> <ul><li>Faster: BotPasswords requires at least 3 API calls just to get the bot off the block: one to fetch a login token, another to actually log in, and usually another one to fetch editing tokens. Since OAuth doesn't require any API call to begin the authentication, you just need one API call – to fetch the tokens.</li> <li>Lesser errors: Session loss often occurs using cookie-based authentication methods. Good bot frameworks should handle these automatically by logging in again on getting the assertbotfailed or assertuserfailed API response, but if yours doesn't, you can avoid these problems just by using OAuth. OAuth tokens don't expire.</li> <li>No need to cache cookies: If your bot task is too frequent (say every 10 minutes), you're likely to have a high login rate unless you cache the login cookies and use them across bot runs. High login rates are <a class="external text" href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T256533">frowned upon by server admins</a>. Again, with OAuth, you don't have to worry about this.</li> <li>More secure: OAuth is more secure.</li></ul>    </div><noscript><img src="https://login.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAutoLogin/start?type=1x1" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="border: none; position: absolute;"></noscript> <div class="printfooter" data-nosnippet="">Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SDZeroBot&oldid=1256089058">https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SDZeroBot&oldid=1256089058</a>"</div></div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks" data-mw="interface"><div id="mw-normal-catlinks" class="mw-normal-catlinks"><a href="/wiki/Help:Category" title="Help:Category">Categories</a>: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Active_Wikipedia_bots" title="Category:Active Wikipedia bots">Active Wikipedia bots</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:All_Wikipedia_bots" title="Category:All Wikipedia bots">All Wikipedia bots</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_bots_running_on_Wikimedia_Toolforge" title="Category:Wikipedia bots running on Wikimedia Toolforge">Wikipedia bots running on Wikimedia Toolforge</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_bots_with_JavaScript_source_code_published" title="Category:Wikipedia bots with JavaScript source code published">Wikipedia bots with JavaScript source code published</a></li></ul></div></div> </div> </main> </div> <div class="mw-footer-container"> <footer id="footer" class="mw-footer" > <ul id="footer-info"> <li id="footer-info-lastmod"> This page was last edited on 8 November 2024, at 04:05<span class="anonymous-show"> (UTC)</span>.</li> <li id="footer-info-copyright">Text is available under the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_4.0_International_License" title="Wikipedia:Text of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License</a>; additional terms may apply.
