I have a jenkins server using the Github OAuth plugin and authorized in the "Authorized applications" section of github, it works fine from my browser, i can access to the jenkins server as long as i'm authenticated with github.
Is there a way to access to the jenkins server api using oauth credentials/token from CURL or a ruby client?
I've generated a token in https://github.com/settings/applications -> Personal access tokens -> Generate new token (there is no option to scope it to a third party application)
that token works fine to access github :
curl -H "Authorization: token cfbcff42e6a8a52a1076dd9fcxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" https://api.github.com/user
however, that token is not valid for jenkins-server:
curl -H "Authorization: token cfbcff42e6a8a52a1076dd9fcxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" https://jenkins-server/user/restebanez/api/json/\?pretty\=true
It generates this error:
<html><head><meta http-equiv='refresh' content='1;url=/securityRealm/commenceLogin?from=%2Fuser%2Frestebanez%2Fapi%2Fjson%2F%3Fpretty%3Dtrue'/><script>window.location.replace('/securityRealm/commenceLogin?from=%2Fuser%2Frestebanez%2Fapi%2Fjson%2F%3Fpretty%3Dtrue');</script></head><body style='background-color:white; color:white;'>
Authentication required

```
the jenkins server has installed GitHub API Plugin 1.58 and Github Authentication plugin 0.19
I'm probably missing some fundamentals of oauth b/c i have googled this for a while and i haven't found anything

With Jenkins CLI you do not have to reload everything - you just can load the job (update-job command). You can't use tokens with CLI, AFAIK - you have to use password or password file. Token name for user can be obtained via http://<jenkins-server>/user/<username>/configure - push on 'Show API token' button.
The GitHub Authentication Plugin provides a security realm to authenticate Jenkins users via GitHub OAuth. In the Global Security configuration choose the Security Realm to be GitHub Authentication Plugin. The settings to configure are: GitHub Web URI, GitHub API URI, Client ID, Client Secret, and OAuth Scope(s).
I'm not sure if you ever got to the bottom of this, but after trying several routes I finally got a scripted build using Github OAuth on Jenkins. The trick is that the API token is not one for GitHub but rather one from Jenkins.
For my setup I have a machine user on github, I logged in normally via the web with that user, then clicked on the username in the upper right corner. From there I clicked "Configure" on the left-hand menu, and finally "Show API Token" in the main content area.
Once I had that I could run:
curl --user <username>:<api_token> https://jenkins-server/user/<username>/api/json/?pretty=true
