A Python library for OAuth 1.0/a, 2.0, and Ofly.

Project description

# Rauth: OAuth 1.0/a, 2.0, and Ofly for Python

This package provides OAuth 1.0/a, 2.0, and Ofly consumer support. The
package is wrapped around the superb Python Requests.


## Installation

Install the package with one of the following commands:

$ easy_install rauth

or

$ pip install rauth


## Features

* Built on [Requests](https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests)
* Supports OAuth 1.0, 1.0a, 2.0 and [Ofly](http://www.shutterfly.com/documentation/start.sfly)
* Service wrappers for convenient connection initialization
* Well tested (100% coverage)


## Example Usage

Using the package is quite simple. Ensure that Python Requests is installed.
Import the relevant module and start utilizing OAuth endpoints!

Let's get a user's Twitter timeline. Start by creating a service container
object:

```python
from rauth.service import OAuth1Service

# Get a real consumer key & secret from https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new
twitter = OAuth1Service(
name='twitter',
consumer_key='YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY',
consumer_secret='YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET',
request_token_url='https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token',
access_token_url='https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token',
authorize_url='https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize',
header_auth=True)
```

Then get an OAuth 1.0 request token:

```python
request_token, request_token_secret = \
twitter.get_request_token(method='GET')
```

Go through the authentication flow. Since our example is a simple console
application, Twitter will give you a PIN to enter.

```python
authorize_url = twitter.get_authorize_url(request_token)

print 'Visit this URL in your browser: ' + authorize_url
pin = raw_input('Enter PIN from browser: ')
```

Exchange the authorized request token for an access token:

```python
response = twitter.get_access_token('GET',
request_token=request_token,
request_token_secret=request_token_secret,
params={'oauth_verifier': pin})
data = response.content

access_token = data['oauth_token']
access_token_secret = data['oauth_token_secret']
```

And now we can fetch our Twitter timeline!

```python
params = {'include_rts': 1, # Include retweets
'count': 10} # 10 tweets

response = twitter.get('https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/home_timeline.json',
params=params,
access_token=access_token,
access_token_secret=access_token_secret,
header_auth=True)

for i, tweet in enumerate(response.content, 1):
handle = tweet['user']['screen_name'].encode('utf-8')
text = tweet['text'].encode('utf-8')
print '{0}. @{1} - {2}'.format(i, handle, text)
```

The full example is in [examples/twitter-timeline.py](https://github.com/litl/rauth/blob/master/examples/twitter-timeline.py).
