Protecting Views with DRF

from rest_framework.views import APIView
from rest_framework.response import Response
from bitcoincash_oauth_django.drf import IsBitcoinCashAuthenticated, HasScope

class ProtectedView(APIView):
    permission_classes = [IsBitcoinCashAuthenticated]
    
    def get(self, request):
        # Access token data from request
        user_id = request.token_data.user_id
        scopes = request.token_data.scopes
        
        return Response({
            "user_id": user_id,
            "scopes": scopes,
            "message": "This is a protected resource"
        })

class AdminView(APIView):
    permission_classes = [IsBitcoinCashAuthenticated, HasScope]
    required_scopes = ["admin"]
    
    def get(self, request):
        return Response({"message": "Admin only"})

Using with ViewSets

from rest_framework import viewsets
from rest_framework.decorators import action
from bitcoincash_oauth_django.drf import IsBitcoinCashAuthenticated

class MyViewSet(viewsets.ViewSet):
    permission_classes = [IsBitcoinCashAuthenticated]
    
    def list(self, request):
        user_id = request.token_data.user_id
        return Response({"user_id": user_id, "items": []})

API Endpoints

POST /auth/register

Register a new user with a Bitcoin Cash address.

Request:

{
  "address": "bitcoincash:qqrxvhnn88gmpczyxry254vcsnl6canmkqgt98lpn5",
  "user_id": "optional_custom_id"
}

Response:

{
  "user_id": "user_abc123",
  "address": "bitcoincash:qqrxvhnn88gmpczyxry254vcsnl6canmkqgt98lpn5",
  "message": "User registered successfully"
}

POST /auth/token

Advanced Usage

Using the Validator Directly

from bitcoincash_oauth_django import BitcoinCashValidator, verify_bitcoin_cash_auth

# Validate a CashAddr
is_valid, network = BitcoinCashValidator.validate_cash_address(
    "bitcoincash:qqrxvhnn88gmpczyxry254vcsnl6canmkqgt98lpn5"
)

# Verify authentication with domain binding
is_valid, reason = verify_bitcoin_cash_auth(
    user_id="user_123",
    timestamp=1234567890,
    public_key="0279BE...",
    signature="3045...",
    expected_address="bitcoincash:qz7f...",
    domain="app.example.com"  # Optional: prevents phishing across domains
)

# Convert public key to address
address = BitcoinCashValidator.public_key_to_cash_address(
    bytes.fromhex("0279BE..."),
    network="mainnet"
)

Custom Token Manager

from bitcoincash_oauth_django import TokenManager, token_manager

# Configure the singleton token manager
token_manager.access_token_ttl = 7200  # 2 hours
token_manager.max_tokens_per_user = 10

# Or create your own instance
custom_manager = TokenManager(
    access_token_ttl=7200,
    refresh_token_ttl=604800,  # 7 days
    max_tokens_per_user=10
)

DRF Permission Classes

Permission Class Description
IsBitcoinCashAuthenticated Validates Bearer token and attaches token_data to request
HasScope Checks if user has required OAuth scopes

Configuration

# settings.py

# Optional: Configure token settings
BITCOINCASH_OAUTH = {
    'TOKEN_TTL': 3600,  # 1 hour
    'REFRESH_TOKEN_TTL': 2592000,  # 30 days
    'MAX_TOKENS_PER_USER': 5,
}
