Hello and Newbie here
Hello All,
I am trying to find out if the following can be achieved using Roku SDK
Goal: Create a channel and display photos/videos from a 3rd party website (which provides access using OAuth, API etc)
Now It is not my website, say, for ex, Facebook.
So is it possible to develop a channel using SDK, such thats, users can enter username/password in channel settings and let channel talk to facebook directly (negotiating Auth, token etc) get the list of photos, feeds etc?
This is just an example. I am trying to understand, for anyone to develop the channel do they need to have a website (providing content) of their own or SDK provides sufficient API to directly work with other provides to get content?
Thanks in advance.

Yes it is. Several existing channels do that or something similar.

OK..I will go through the documentation and see if there are any samples that illustrate this functionality.
Thank you
