Anyone successful in creating an Excel application?
I can interact with the API but any query that requires authentication I have not been able to find online resources to figure out. Any help would be great.
Thanks.
Really interesting concept. I don't have any experience at all with coding for Excel -- as best as I can tell, it's VBA under the covers? I really can't speak to that much more than what I can find online (mostly related to Twitter):

I think that getting an interactive flow working correctly within Excel could be tricky, but once you retrieve a valid access token for a user (after having them go through the 3-legged OAuth steps), you could just keep refreshing that token within the Excel application. So...it seems possible? But a bit tricky to do. The flow described in the link above seems to only be constructing a request given a working access token/secret, while you'd need to build in something to
retrieve the access token initially or
refresh an existing functional access token, and then
make the request.
Has anyone else played around with this?
