yahoo-oauth 2.0

Python Yahoo OAuth Library. Supports OAuth1 and OAuth2

Yahoo_OAuth is a very easy to use OAuth python library for Yahoo! APIs.

Installation

pip install yahoo_oauth

Quickstart

Wether you use OAuth1 or OAuth2, only 2 parameters are required.

• *consumer*key_

• *consumer*secret_

I recommend putting those two into a file. Only *json* and *yaml* files are supported

{
    "consumer_key": "my_very_long_and_weird_consumer_key",
    "consumer_secret": "my_not_that_long_consumer_secret"
}

Once you acquired your access_token, this file will look like :

• OAuth1

{
    "access_token": "A=5ZnN5xXY5yKacQp1QtUF68MlEmXVIF8fRplkc7W1QMVYeLJ2DdBmNyH7SxVgUbAjdv5edCnk_DEUbfr6GpqezsSAuE9h36wfh.J45twIo1sA.bqMk7Bta6IisI9z1_h8D0QZzWYmjybxlQcuNgd7TY4nJuu_Afj_8ED787BQbjg6OqRotV.eM4_YyBCjP1K8G6rG44iX2PGNj.JSEJrocgvglABkTTVA_8t.JoLH7NHSgxCQXhakBsk3_K.6Rkgm_Nkc7.ZD02pYy3dJAfBh1fFvtrCwIOqDIplri305dZ1UY430X6SfPnZIFJNiTWkMH8_QRhcnfizG5TZugN_.0ib2VnnUzspeFT0_86p6WMP3uFOLYXspdEOryhSJwFJ3AHZN9n.t8euRQOxanpsvw5M5ffBs6P0dI5FijGw3fibbqoheJOSUE_BRUNEL_KOUKAJSsJCH(^_^)JHllHmJUptK9k5ifiqJOpTbodnW8EsyyNhthDOusv5Bp6142mvCPnC7HX7PkTodHqfgVyAUOvOqSsqMGyc65OY8roLORKpUWObw9bjd8YsU40jwSaGZtWmvVhYV9RxUA779bRuE1k0BL_fvXQ_tlZnxPhtIFBB64szQ9AwA9HT_nZKq8q1rOfUcBIZJ7Zu1jwpZUAOkHsfmHWCW2gK8BC4wjk0WuJg95FpZ2z741mhRcdma2bVYpdh3k2DdaBVYRTDT36Q4SBtreb_GNi1Mctg.RhSqopCTTvW4jjXAkt2SHnscUi37v0yo4JVex0cnVmVTFL7TRl1JMLl9jt0XmaLaKuS4nhR4A--",

With that you should be good to go.

Normally, once your got all that, you can *use the same credentials FOREVER*, you just have to *REFRESH THEM*.

OAuth1

from yahoo_oauth import OAuth1
oauth = OAuth1(None, None, from_file='oauth1.json')
...

if not oauth.token_is_valid():
    oauth.refresh_access_token()

# Example
response = oauth.session.post(url, data=body)

OAuth2

from yahoo_oauth import OAuth2
oauth = OAuth2(None, None, from_file='oauth2.json')
...

if not oauth.token_is_valid():
    oauth.refresh_access_token()
# Example
response = oauth.session.get(url, params=payload)
