annotell-auth 2.0.1

Annotell Authentication

Annotell Authentication

Python 3 library providing foundations for Annotell Authentication on top of the requests or httpx libraries.

Install with pip install annotell-auth[requests] or pip install annotell-auth[httpx]

Builds on the standard OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials flow. There are a few ways to provide auth credentials to our api clients. Annotell Python clients such as in annotell-input-api accept an auth parameter that can be set explicitly or you can omit it and use environment variables.

There are a few ways to set your credentials in auth.

1. Set the environment variable ANNOTELL_CREDENTIALS to point to your Annotell Credentials file. The credentials will contain the Client Id and Client Secret.
2. Set to the credentials file path like auth="~/.config/annotell/credentials.json"
3. Set environment variables ANNOTELL_CLIENT_ID andANNOTELL_CLIENT_SECRET
4. Set to credentials tuple auth=(client_id, client_secret)

API clients such as the InputApiClient accept this auth parameter.

Under the hood, they commonly use the AuthSession class which is implements a requests session with automatic token refresh. An httpx implementation is also available.

from annotell.auth.requests.auth_session import RequestsAuthSession

sess = RequestsAuthSession()

# make call to some Annotell service with your token. Use default requests 
sess.get("https://api.annotell.com")

Changelog

2.0.0 (2022-05-02)

Refactor for backend separation, with optional dependencies for either httpx or requests.

1.8.0 (2022-04-12)

• Initial support for httpx (BETA). Solves refresh token expiry by reset without the FaultTolerantAuthRequestSession
• The library will be refactored by a breaking 2.0 release, and make the same changes to the requests version. The authsession module backed by requests is untouched for now.

1.7.0 (2022-04-11)

• Fix compatibility issue with authlib >= 1.0.0. Resetting the auth session failed, when the refresh token had expired.

1.6.0 (2021-02-21)

• Expose underlying requests.Session on FaultTolerantAuthRequestSession
• Fix some thread locks

1.5.0 (2020-10-20)

• Add FaultTolerantAuthRequestSession that handles token refresh on long running sessions.

1.4.0 (2020-04-16)

• Add support for auth parameter, with path to credentials file or AnnotellCredentials object
• Drop support for legacy API token
