## Installation
To install simply run
```
$ pip install atlassian-jwt-auth
```

## Using this library

### To create a JWT for authentication

```python
import atlassian_jwt_auth


signer = atlassian_jwt_auth.create_signer('issuer', 'issuer/key', private_key_pem)
a_jwt = signer.generate_jwt('audience')
```


### To create a JWT using a file on disk in the conventional location

Each time you call `generate_jwt` this will find the latest active key file (ends with `.pem`) and use it to generate your JWT.

```python
import atlassian_jwt_auth


signer = atlassian_jwt_auth.create_signer_from_file_private_key_repository('issuer', '/opt/jwtprivatekeys')
a_jwt = signer.generate_jwt('audience')
```

### To make an authenticated HTTP request

If you use the `atlassian_jwt_auth.contrib.requests.JWTAuth` provider, you
can automatically generate JWT tokens when using the `requests` library to
perform authenticated HTTP requests.

```python
import atlassian_jwt_auth
from atlassian_jwt_auth.contrib.requests import JWTAuth

signer = atlassian_jwt_auth.create_signer('issuer', 'issuer/key', private_key_pem)
response = requests.get(
'https://your-url'
auth=JWTAuth(signer, 'audience')
)
```

### To verify a JWT
```python
import atlassian_jwt_auth

public_key_retriever = atlassian_jwt_auth.HTTPSPublicKeyRetriever('https://example.com')
verifier = atlassian_jwt_auth.JWTAuthVerifier(public_key_retriever)
verified_claims = verifier.verify_jwt(a_jwt, 'audience')
```
