Token-based authentication is the most common way of protecting your APIs from unwanted folk.
Sometimes you need to do things fast (you know, get it to prod yesterday) and you do not really have time to implement a proper authentication layer.
Okay, are you fine with a temporary solution? There’s nothing more permanent than temporary, right.
If you can:
provide a simple async token verifier (say, checking it in memcached or Redis)
or
hard-code a token in your app prototype,
and also
sent the token in a request header
then we are ready to go.
Usage example
from sanic import Sanic
from sanic.response import text
from sanic_token_auth import SanicTokenAuth
app = Sanic()
auth = SanicTokenAuth(app, secret_key='utee3Quaaxohh1Oo', header='X-My-App-Auth-Token')
@app.route("/")
async def index(request):
return text("Go to /protected")
@app.route("/protected")
@auth.auth_required
async def protected(request):
return text("Welcome!")
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8000, debug=True)And let’s try it:
$ curl http://localhost:8000/protected -H "X-My-App-Auth-Token: utee3Quaaxohh1Oo"
Welcome!If you omit the header argument, you can instead send a token in either Authorization: Bearer <yourtoken> or Authorization: Token <yourtoken> header.
