Dartmouth Auth

A lightweight package facilitating authentication for Dartmouth services.

Getting started

1. Install the package:

pip install dartmouth-auth

2. Obtain a Dartmouth API key from developer.dartmouth.edu
3. Store the API key as an environment variable called DARTMOUTH_API_KEY:

export DARTMOUTH_API_KEY=<your_key_here>

Using the library

Obtain a JSON Web Token (JWT):

import dartmouth_auth


my_jwt = dartmouth_auth.get_jwt()

You can then use my_jwt for any authenticated Dartmouth services that require a JWT.

Inspect get_jwt()'s docstring for more detailed usage information.
