httpie-jwt-auth 0.4.0

JWTAuth plugin for HTTPie.

JWTAuth (JSON Web Tokens) auth plugin for HTTPie.

Installation

• Latest stable version:

$ pip install -U httpie-jwt-auth

• Latest developing version:

$ pip install -U https://github.com/teracyhq/httpie-jwt-auth/archive/develop.zip

• This version requires HTTPie v0.9.7 and above. If you can not use this new version, you can use: https://github.com/teracyhq/httpie-jwt-auth/tree/v0.2.1

Supported HTTPie Version

• Supports HTTPie >= 1.0.0

• httpie-jwt-auth can work with older versions of HTTPie

Usage

• Normal:

  $ http --auth-type=jwt --auth="<token>" example.org -h
  
  GET / HTTP/1.1
  Accept: */*
  Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
  Authorization: Token_Prefix abc
  Connection: keep-alive
  Host: example.org
  User-Agent: HTTPie/0.9.7

• By default, the Bearer prefix auth token is used, you can choose another prefix:

  $ JWT_AUTH_PREFIX=JWT http --auth-type=jwt --auth="<token>" example.org -h

• Also by default, the Authorization auth header is used, but you can choose another one:

  $ JWT_AUTH_HEADER=X-Foobar-Authorization http --auth-type=jwt --auth="<token>" example.org -h

• Sometimes you don’t need to expose the JWT token on the command line, you can use the environment variable:

  $ export JWT_AUTH_TOKEN=secret

  And it should work:

  $ http teracy.com --auth-type=jwt -v
  
  GET / HTTP/1.1
  Accept: */*
  Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
  Authorization: Bearer secret
  Connection: keep-alive
  Host: teracy.com
  User-Agent: HTTPie/0.9.7

You can combine the usage whatever you like for your cases.

FAQs

1. How to load JWT token from a file?

   $ http --auth-type=jwt --auth="$(cat mytoken.txt)" example.org

   See: https://github.com/teracyhq/httpie-jwt-auth/issues/4

2. How to use auth prefix other than default Bearer, for example Token_Prefix instead?

   You could use environment variable to specify JWT_AUTH_PREFIX for permanent prefix usage:

   $ export JWT_AUTH_PREFIX=Token_Prefix

   and it should work:

   $ http teracy.com --auth-type=jwt --auth="abc" -v
   
   GET / HTTP/1.1
   Accept: */*
   Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
   Authorization: Token_Prefix abc
   Connection: keep-alive
   Host: teracy.com
   User-Agent: HTTPie/0.9.7

   or for one time usage only with the specified jwt auth prefix:

   $ JWT_AUTH_PREFIX=Token_Prefix http teracy.com --auth-type=jwt --auth="abc" -v
   
   GET / HTTP/1.1
   Accept: */*
   Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
   Authorization: Token_Prefix abc
   Connection: keep-alive
   Host: teracy.com
   User-Agent: HTTPie/0.9.7
