Vonage JWT Generator for Python

This package provides functionality to generate a JWT in Python code.

It is used by the Vonage Python SDK.

Installation

Install from the Python Package Index with pip:

pip install vonage-jwt

Usage

This JWT Generator can be used implicitly, just by using the Vonage Python SDK to make JWT-authenticated API calls.

It can also be used as a standalone JWT generator for use with Vonage APIs, like so:

Import the JwtClient object

from vonage_jwt.jwt import JwtClient

Create a JwtClient object

jwt_client = JwtClient(application_id, private_key)

Generate a JWT using the provided application id and private key

jwt_client.generate_application_jwt()

Optional JWT claims can be provided in a python dictionary:

claims = {'jti': 'asdfzxcv1234', 'nbf': now + 100}
jwt_client.generate_application_jwt(claims)
