# Rauth

A simple Python OAuth 1.0/a, OAuth 2.0, and Ofly consumer library built on top
of Requests.

[](https://travis-ci.org/#!/litl/rauth)


## Features

* Supports OAuth 1.0/a, 2.0 and [Ofly](http://www.shutterfly.com/documentation/start.sfly)
* Service wrappers for convenient connection initialization
* Authenticated session objects providing nifty things like keep-alive
* Well tested (100% coverage)
* Built on [Requests](https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests) (v1.x)


## Installation

To install:

$ pip install rauth

Or if you must:

$ easy_install rauth


## Example Usage

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

```python
from rauth import OAuth1Service

# Get a real consumer key & secret from https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new
twitter = OAuth1Service(
name='twitter',
consumer_key='J8MoJG4bQ9gcmGh8H7XhMg',
consumer_secret='7WAscbSy65GmiVOvMU5EBYn5z80fhQkcFWSLMJJu4',
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',
base_url='https://api.twitter.com/1/')
```

Then get an OAuth 1.0 request token:

```python
request_token, request_token_secret = twitter.get_request_token()
```

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 authenticated `OAuth1Session`:

```python
session = twitter.get_auth_session(request_token,
request_token_secret,
method='POST',
data={'oauth_verifier': pin})
```

And now we can fetch our Twitter timeline!

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

r = session.get('statuses/home_timeline.json', params=params)

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