FusionAuth Python Client

Intro

If you're integrating FusionAuth with a Python 3 application, this library will speed up your development time. Please also make sure to check our SDK Usage Suggestions page.

For additional information and documentation on FusionAuth refer to https://fusionauth.io.

Install

To install the FusionAuth Python Client package run:

pip install fusionauth-client

This library can be found on PyPI at https://pypi.org/project/fusionauth-client/.

Examples

Set Up

First, you have to make sure you have a running FusionAuth instance. If you don't have one already, the easiest way to install FusionAuth is via Docker, but there are other ways. By default, it'll be running on localhost:9011.

Then, you have to create an API Key in the admin UI to allow calling API endpoints.

You are now ready to use this library.

Create the Client

Include the package in your code by using the following statement.

from fusionauth.fusionauth_client import FusionAuthClient

Now you're ready to begin making requests to FusionAuth. You will need to supply an API key you created in FusionAuth, the following example assumes an API key of 6b87a398-39f2-4692-927b-13188a81a9a3.

client = FusionAuthClient('6b87a398-39f2-4692-927b-13188a81a9a3', 'http://localhost:9011')

Error Handling

After every request is made, you need to check for any errors and handle them. To avoid cluttering things up, we'll omit the error handling in the next examples, but you should do something like the following.

Create an Application

To create an Application, use the create_application() method.

data = {
    'application': {
        'name': 'ChangeBank'
    }
}

result = client.create_application(data)

# Handle errors as shown in the beginning of the Examples section

# Otherwise parse the successful response
print(result.success_response)

Adding Roles to an Existing Application

To add roles to an Application, use create_application_role().

data = {
    'role': {
        'name': 'customer',
        'description': 'Default role for regular customers',
        'isDefault': 1
    }
}

result = client.create_application_role(
    application_id='5a89377e-a250-4b15-b766-377ecc9b9fc9',
    request=data
)

# Handle errors as shown in the beginning of the Examples section

# Otherwise parse the successful response
print(result.success_response)

Retrieve Application Details

To fetch details about an Application, use retrieve_application().

result = client.retrieve_application(
    application_id='5a89377e-a250-4b15-b766-377ecc9b9fc9'
)
print(result.success_response)

Delete an Application

To delete an Application, use delete_application().

client.delete_application(
    application_id='5a89377e-a250-4b15-b766-377ecc9b9fc9'
)

Lock a User

To prevent a User from logging in, use deactivate_user().

client.deactivate_user(
    user_id='231b982c-9304-4642-9bac-492d6917f5aa'
)

Registering a User

To register a User in an Application, use register().

The code below also adds a customer role and a custom appBackgroundColor property to the User Registration.

result = client.register(
    user_id='231b982c-9304-4642-9bac-492d6917f5aa',
    request={
        'registration': {
            'applicationId': '5a89377e-a250-4b15-b766-377ecc9b9fc9',
            'roles': [
                'customer'
            ],
            'data': {
                'appBackgroundColor': '#096324'
            }
        }
    }
)
print(result.success_response)

Upgrade Policy

This library is built automatically to keep track of the FusionAuth API, and may also receive updates with bug fixes, security patches, tests, code samples, or documentation changes.

These releases may also update dependencies, language engines, and operating systems, as we'll follow the deprecation and sunsetting policies of the underlying technologies that it uses.

This means that after a dependency (e.g. language, framework, or operating system) is deprecated by its maintainer, this library will also be deprecated by us, and will eventually be updated to use a newer version.
