OAuth2 support for aiohttp client

aiohttp-oauth2-client: OAuth2 support for aiohttp client

This package adds support for OAuth 2.0 authorization to the ClientSession class of the aiohttp library. It handles retrieving access tokens and injects them in the Authorization header of HTTP requests as a Bearer token.

Features:

• Ease of use
• Supported OAuth2 grants:
  • Resource Owner Password Credentials
  • Client Credentials
  • Authorization Code (+ PKCE)
  • Device Code (+ PKCE)
• Automatic (lazy) refresh of tokens
• Extensible code architecture

Installation

The pacakge is available on PyPi and can be installed using pip:

pip install aiohttp-oauth2-client

Usage

Begin by importing the relevant modules, like the OAuth2 client and grant. Also import asyncio for running async code:

import asyncio
from aiohttp_oauth2_client.client import OAuth2Client
from aiohttp_oauth2_client.grant.device_code import DeviceCodeGrant

Then create an OAuth2Grant and OAuth2Client object and perform a HTTP request to a protected resource. We use the Device Code grant in this example:

async def main():
    async with DeviceCodeGrant(
            token_url=TOKEN_URL,
            device_authorization_url=DEVICE_AUTHORIZATION_URL,
            client_id=CLIENT_ID,
            pkce=True
    ) as grant, OAuth2Client(grant) as client:
        async with client.get(PROTECTED_ENDPOINT) as response:
            assert response.ok
            print(await response.text())


asyncio.run(main())

The client and grant objects can be used as async context managers. This ensures the proper setup and cleanup of associated resources.

Grant configuration

This section provides an overview of the configuration options for each grant type. Extra parameters can be provided, which will then be used in the authorization process.

Authorization code grant

The authorization code grant uses a web browser login to request an authorization code, which is then used to request an access token.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
token_url	Yes	OAuth 2.0 Token URL
authorization_url	Yes	OAuth 2.0 Authorization URL
client_id	Yes	client identifier
token	No	OAuth 2.0 Token
pkce	No	use PKCE

Example

from aiohttp_oauth2_client.client import OAuth2Client
from aiohttp_oauth2_client.grant.authorization_code import AuthorizationCodeGrant

...

async with AuthorizationCodeGrant(
        token_url="https://sso.example.com/oauth2/token",
        authorization_url="https://sso.example.com/oauth2/auth",
        client_id="public",
        pkce=True
) as grant, OAuth2Client(grant) as client:
    ...

Client credentials grant

Use client credentials to obtain an access token.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
token_url	Yes	OAuth 2.0 Token URL
client_id	Yes	client identifier
client_secret	Yes	client secret
token	No	OAuth 2.0 token

Example

from aiohttp_oauth2_client.client import OAuth2Client
from aiohttp_oauth2_client.grant.client_credentials import ClientCredentialsGrant

...

async with ClientCredentialsGrant(
        token_url="https://sso.example.com/oauth2/token",
        client_id="my-client",
        client_secret="top-secret"
) as grant, OAuth2Client(grant) as client:
    ...

Device code grant

Obtain user authorization on devices with limited input capabilities or lack a suitable browser to handle an interactive log in procedure. The user is instructed to review the authorization request on a secondary device, which does have the requisite input and browser capabilities to complete the user interaction.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
token_url	Yes	OAuth 2.0 Token URL
device_authorization_url	Yes	OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization URL
client_id	Yes	client identifier
token	No	OAuth 2.0 Token
pkce	No	use PKCE

Example

from aiohttp_oauth2_client.client import OAuth2Client
from aiohttp_oauth2_client.grant.device_code import DeviceCodeGrant

...

async with DeviceCodeGrant(
        token_url="https://sso.example.com/oauth2/token",
        device_authorization_url="https://sso.example.com/oauth2/auth/device",
        client_id="public",
        pkce=True
) as grant, OAuth2Client(grant) as client:
    ...

Resource owner password credentials grant

Use the username and password of the resource owner to obtain an access token.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
token_url	Yes	OAuth 2.0 Token URL
username	Yes	username of the resource owner
password	Yes	password of the resource owner
token	No	OAuth 2.0 Token

Example

from aiohttp_oauth2_client.client import OAuth2Client
from aiohttp_oauth2_client.grant.resource_owner_password_credentials import ResourceOwnerPasswordCredentialsGrant

...

async with ResourceOwnerPasswordCredentialsGrant(
        token_url="https://sso.example.com/oauth2/token",
        username="username",
        password="password123",
        client_id="public"
) as grant, OAuth2Client(grant) as client:
    ...

Development

To start developing on this project, you should install all needed dependencies for running and testing the code:

pip install -e .[dev]

This will also install linting and formatting tools, which can be automatically executed when you commit using Git. To set up pre-commit as a Git hook, run:

pre-commit install

You can also run the pre-commit checks manually with the following command:

pre-commit run --all-files

Build the docs

This repository uses Sphinx to generate documentation for the Python package. To build the documentation, first install the required dependencies via the extra docs:

pip install -e .[docs]

Then go to the documentation directory and build the docs:

cd docs/
make html
