Short answer: yes, API v3 supports OAuth.

OAuth 2.0

Starting with API v3, GoCanvas now supports the OAuth 2.0 specified Client Credentials, which are documented in our API v3 documentation. This method of authentication provides an alternative to Basic Authentication.

Authentication: Bearer

OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials offer  a short-lived token for API access. This token can then be passed in the Authorization HTTP header as a Bearer token authenticate requests instead of using username and password.

To use Bearer authentication, you must first create an OAuth application in your profile. Once you have created an OAuth Application, use the client_id and client_secret to obtain a short-lived token for Bearer Authentication. These OAuth Applications can also be revoked from the profile screen.
