The DigitalOcean API now supports OAuth 2, allowing developers to easily integrate their applications with user accounts and providing a more convenient alternative to manual access token management. Users can authorize third-party applications with read or read & write access to their DigitalOcean account through a digital authorization request page, and can also view and revoke account access within the control panel. The open source OAuth strategy is available for the community to use, and an accompanying gem is provided for integration with Rails and Rack frameworks.
