Is it possible to open an API for my own website ... but use oAuth for api authentication?

I am currently exposing the Api for my website. Works great. I am using Basic Authentication to authenticate users to access data.

eg.

http://www.MyWebSite.com  <-- main site.
http://api.MyWebSite.com  <-- my api website.

sample api RESTful url

http://user1:pass1@api.MyWebSite.com/games?type=battlefield2

(yes, yes, I know browsers stop people from entering user1: pass1 (Basic Auth) directly in the url .. security reason, but that means we are using Basic Auth)).

So how can I do this with oAuth?
