Rauth
A simple Python OAuth 1.0/a, OAuth 2.0, and Ofly consumer library built on top of Requests.
Features
- Supports OAuth 1.0/a, 2.0 and Ofly
- Service wrappers for convenient connection initialization
- Authenticated session objects providing nifty things like keep-alive
- Well tested (100% coverage)
- Built on Requests (v1.x)
Installation
To install:
$ pip install rauth
Or if you must:
$ easy_install rauth
Example Usage
Let's get a user's Twitter timeline. Start by creating a service container object:
from rauth import OAuth1Service
# Get a real consumer key & secret from https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new
twitter = OAuth1Service(
name='twitter',
consumer_key='J8MoJG4bQ9gcmGh8H7XhMg',
consumer_secret='7WAscbSy65GmiVOvMU5EBYn5z80fhQkcFWSLMJJu4',
request_token_url='https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token',
access_token_url='https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token',
authorize_url='https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize',
base_url='https://api.twitter.com/1.1/')
Then get an OAuth 1.0 request token:
request_token, request_token_secret = twitter.get_request_token()
Go through the authentication flow. Since our example is a simple console application, Twitter will give you a PIN to enter.
authorize_url = twitter.get_authorize_url(request_token)
print 'Visit this URL in your browser: ' + authorize_url
pin = raw_input('Enter PIN from browser: ') # `input` if using Python 3!
Exchange the authorized request token for an authenticated OAuth1Session
:
session = twitter.get_auth_session(request_token,
request_token_secret,
method='POST',
data={'oauth_verifier': pin})
And now we can fetch our Twitter timeline!
params = {'include_rts': 1, # Include retweets
'count': 10} # 10 tweets
r = session.get('statuses/home_timeline.json', params=params)
for i, tweet in enumerate(r.json(), 1):
handle = tweet['user']['screen_name']
text = tweet['text']
print(u'{0}. @{1} - {2}'.format(i, handle, text))
Here's the full example: examples/twitter-timeline-cli.py.
