Flask blueprint to connect to a MediaWiki OAuth server
Project description
Flask blueprint to run OAuth against MediaWiki’s extension:OAuth.
- The blueprint adds these uris:
/login - runs the OAuth handshake and returns the user to /
/login?next=/someurl will return the user to /someurl
/logout - clears the users’ access tokens
/oauth-callback - callback from MW to finish the handshake
The users’ OAuth key and secret are stored in the session.
- In addition, flask-mwoauth adds a few convenience functions:
get_current_user(cached=True) reports who the current user is. To confirm the user is still logged in (e.g. tokens have not been revoked), call it with cached=False.
request(api_query) submits an request through the API, using the users’ access tokens. E.g. the current user request runs request({‘action’: ‘query’, ‘meta’: ‘userinfo’}).
An example app is implemented in demo.py.
