Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/OAuthSwift/OAuthSwift/issues/100

I have OAuth all setup and working fine for my application's authorization but I have a few questions that I'm hoping someone can answer:

1.) Does OAuthSwift provide a way to store the token in the keychain? Does it do so by default?

2.) The authorization examples are great, but is there a basic example that shows how to make a GET request with the access token?

Thank you.

1/ no keychain store, but there is encoding and decoding method into OAuthSwiftCredential
So you can archive into nsdata and store in keychain

I make a framework for preferences and there is keychain storing
https://github.com/phimage/Prephirences/

let keychain = KeychainPreferences.sharedInstance
keychain.setObjectToArchive(theCredential, "a string key")

if let retrievedCredential = keychain.unarchiveObjectForKey("the same key") {.. }

or with subscript and explicit archiving

keychain["a string key"] = NSKeyedArchiver.archivedDataWithRootObject(theCredential)

if let data = keychain["a string key"] as? NSData  {
    let retrievedCredential = NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObjectWithData(data)

}

2/ look into demo app
there is some get request with automatic use of credential in http header

oauthswift.client.get(...

but you can do it manually , see code like #99
