How to post information to Eloqua, by calling Eloqua API from a class - eloqua

I don't know much about Eloqua or oAuth, I wanted to know How to create a service to connect to Eloqua and call API

The documentation for Eloqua oauth is here: http://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/marketingcs_gs/OMCAB/index.html#Developers/GettingStarted/Authentication/authenticate-using-oauth.htm
This is the documentation for the bulk api: http://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/marketingcs_gs/OMCAB/index.html#Developers/BulkAPI/bulk-API.htm
You can start by using a rest client (like postman or fiddler) to play with the API.
Is there anything specific you want to achieve?

I have to write an answer because my reputation is too low to comment...
You can not create a user via REST API or Bulk API. Maybe with SOAP but it's deprecated.
See all endpoints for users here.
Your question is not clear:
What do you call a "service" ?
What do you want to achieve ? And how ?
Does OAuth is mandatory ?
And finally, with REST API you can not connect and then executes your actions, you have to authenticate you each time you call an endpoint. You are probably aware of this, but this may seems unclear in your question.

Securing API using Oauth 2.0

I am creating new product. for that I have to use available security features. should I use Oauth2 or Json web token? which is better and in which situation these should be used?
I think you may find your answer in using org.apache.oltu.oauth2.
https://www.programcreek.com/java-api-examples/?api=org.apache.oltu.oauth2.client.request.OAuthClientRequest.AuthenticationRequestBuilder
You can see an implementation for oauth and openID here oauth server and resource server
Just to explain what they are,
oauth server creates the tokens
resource server uses that token and processes it to give you the requested data
You can also go through the following docs to understand what they mean and how to implement them,
sample implementation in java , oracle tutorial on the concept of tokens
If you want to do google API auth then you can go through this
I also found this stackoverflow link which is sort of similar question and has shared few of similar links. You should check that out as well.

Why do you need OAuth for a read-only reddit instance with PRAW?

According to the PRAW manual, you need to specify client ID, client secret, and user agent in order to make a read-only reddit instance. Why is this? You don't need any authentication to look at reddit with a browser; why should it be different if you automate it?
Is this a restriction imposed by PRAW, by the Reddit API, or neither?
Reddit's API access rules state, "Clients must authenticate with OAuth2".
https://github.com/reddit/reddit/wiki/API#rules
Of course there are ways around that limitation, but Reddit is not granting you permission to do so. As a result PRAW 4.0+ enforces the use of OAuth.

Does Slack provide API access to Slack's avatars?

Where do the Slack default avatars come from? Is it their own service or a 3rd party one?
In either case, is there a possibility for others to use the avatar creation service / system e.g. via the slack API?
I asked Slack directly, and they don't currently offer this in their API:
We don't have an API method or service for it, so there isn't a way to do this, sorry!
They've heard the suggestion, though.

What is the first step to using a REST API in Rails?

I have just completed Hartl's book on rails. Following the examples have been helpful and I have been able to build some very basic functionality for my app. However, there is this API I would like to use, and have been granted a key for the API. I have absolutely no idea how to start implementing the API. The other stuff surrounding API's have been helpful, but I literally am stuck on what the very first step should be to begin implementing the API.
I need for a user to be able to sign up and authenticate, then supply data that will be tracked through the external API. I've got the user sign up and authenticate stuff down pat, just need to know what the very first baby step to using this API should be.
The logic behind the answer would be equally helpful.
You can use ActiveResource for your model and point it to the external API. This is useful if your model uses an external data source.
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveResource/Base.html
If the external API you want to use is a well known, there is a good chance that there is already a gem for interaction with that API.
If you only need to send some data to the external API but your model does not use it as its source, you can use an HTTP client like Faraday https://github.com/technoweenie/faraday
