url-signer-python 0.4.0

IO River python library for generating URL signatures

url-signer-python

Overview

url-signer-python is a Python library designed to generate signatures for URLs. These signatures can be used by the IO River service with Signed-URLs enabled to secure access to content. The library generates signatures for all CDN providers associated with the service.

Installation

To install url-signer-python, you can use pip:

pip install url-signer-python

Alternatively, you can clone the repository and install it manually:

git clone https://github.com/ioriver/url-signer-python.git
cd url-signer-python
pip install .

Usage

Below is some example to help you get started:

Step 1: Create URL Signer

from ioriver.url_signer import UrlSigner

private_key = "YourPrivateKey"
encryption_key = "YourEncryptionKey"

# use the provider key information from your service
providers_key_info = {
    "cloudfront_key_id": "1234",
    "fastly_key_id": "5678"
}

signer = UrlSigner(private_key, encryption_key, providers_key_info)

Step 2: Generate Signature

# the policy to be signed
policy = {
    "resources": "https://test.example.com/streams/*",
    "condition": {
        "end_time": 1733356800
    }
}

# generate signature for all CDNs
signature = signer.generate_url_signature(policy)
