Authenticating stackoveflow programatically - OpenID

Question

I would like to add up and down voting to my iPhone appilcation - MyStacks, for this I need the to be able to authenticate the user with SO.

I'm look at adapting the Twitter-OAuth-iPhone library. However The problem I have is obtaining the consumer and secret key. to use OAuth, do I need to obtain a different key for each provider? In order to obtain a consumer key from google the application needs to have a domain name, but this being an iPhone app of course i don't have one, does this mean that I can't use OAuth?

Is there any other way to programatically authenticate SO?

Thanks, Ben

Found the solution, on the iPhone its surprisingly simple. Just embed a UIWebView which opens up the SO login page and then once users authenticates themselves the required cookies will be saved using NSHTTPCookieStorage so you can simply use NSURLRequest as normal.
