Authomatic is a framework-agnostic Python library that simplifies user authentication and authorization via third-party providers like Facebook, Google, and Twitter using OAuth 2.0 and OpenID. It provides adapters for Django, Flask, Pyramid, and Webapp2, plus helpers for making provider API calls.

Use cases

• add social login with Facebook or Google to a Flask app
• implement OAuth2 client authentication in a Django project
• log users in via third-party providers in a Pyramid web app
• call provider APIs on behalf of authenticated users
• replace hand-rolled OAuth flows with a minimal library
• support multiple OAuth2 providers from one codebase

When to choose

• you need OAuth2 social login in a Python web app with Django, Flask, or Pyramid
• you want a lightweight, framework-agnostic auth client with minimal dependencies
• you need to make authenticated API calls to many popular providers

When to avoid

• you need OAuth1 or OpenID support, which was removed in the 2.0 release
• you need a full identity provider or SSO server rather than a client library
• your framework has no adapter and you don't want to write one
• you need Python versions older than 3.10
