girder-cli-oauth-client

A Python library for performing OAuth login to a Girder 4 (Django) server.

Description

This provides support for authenticating with Girder 4 servers, using the OAuth2.0 Authorization Code Grant with PKCE flow and out-of-band redirection.

Usage

• Install the library:

  pip install girder-cli-oauth-client
  

• Instantiate an OauthClient with your application-specific configuration:

  from girder_cli_oauth_client import GirderCliOAuthClient
  
  oauth_client = GirderCliOAuthClient(
      'http://localhost:8000/oauth/',
      '1ohsuyWIx9fEsJhmAH2AWGNUqd8Wsd7LHyongtVy',
  )
  

• Call login when it's time to start a login flow:

  oauth_client.login()  # open the browser to login and wait for a code
  

• At the start of every application start, unconditionally call maybe_restore_login, to attempt to restore a login state; this will no-op if no login is present.

  oauth_client.maybe_restore_login()
  

• Include these headers with every API request:

  requests.get('http://localhost:8000/api/users/me', headers=oauth_client.auth_headers)
  

• Call logout to clear any active login:

  oauth_client.logout()
