--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.. code:: python

import requests_chef

auth = requests_chef.ChefAuth('chef-user', '~/chef-user.pem')
response = requests.get('https://api.chef.io/users/chef-user',
headers={'X-Chef-Version': '12.0.2'},
auth=auth)
response.json()
...
{'display_name': 'chef-user',
'email': '[e-mail]',
'first_name': 'Chef',
'last_name': 'User',
'middle_name': '',
'public_key': '-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\nMIIBIj...IDAQAB\n-----END PUBLIC KEY-----\n',
'username': 'chef-user'}

See `samstav/okchef <https://github.com/samstav/okchef>`__ first, since
thats generally more useful.
```okchef`` <https://github.com/samstav/okchef>`__ uses
```requests-chef`` <https://github.com/samstav/requests-chef>`__ to sign
and authenticate requests.

Install
-------

This project currently requires `a
fork <https://github.com/samstav/cryptography/tree/rsa-bypass-hash-on-signer>`__
of `pyca/cryptography <https://github.com/pyca/cryptography>`__ due to
the following related issues:

- `#1648: decouple hashing process from signature generation /
verification <https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/issues/1648>`__
- `#1579: Support asymmetric signing with pre-computed
digest <https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/issues/1579>`__

Instructions
~~~~~~~~~~~~

*First*, install this fork of cryptography directly from github.

::

$ pip install git+https://github.com/samstav/cryptography.git@rsa-bypass-hash-on-signer

If you don't do this first, you'd have to use the (deprecated, scheduled
for removal) ``--process-dependency-links`` option through pip, since
pip no longer respects `dependency
links <https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#dependencies-that-aren-t-in-pypi>`__
by default (as of pip 1.5).

::

$ pip install --process-dependency-links requests-chef
