Describing an API is not hard, but the API authentication method is. How do you think you will do it?

Edit : If you don't make oauth consumption simpler, you don't really solve the problem

Currently, I am supporting 3 authentication strategies. Basic, Token in header and OAUTH.

These will cover most of the APIs. And I am open to include other kind of authentication strategies too.

EDIT: OAUTH Consumption is not the main priority here. The problem I intended to solve is automating the development and maintaing of API client libraries in several different languages.

That said, I intend to add support for OAUTH consumption too.
