AuthX is a Python library providing ready-to-use, customizable authentication and OAuth2 management for FastAPI applications. It offers JWT-based access and refresh tokens, multiple token locations (headers, cookies with CSRF, query, JSON body), token blocklist/revocation, and optional extras like Redis caching and Prometheus metrics.

Use cases

• add jwt authentication to a fastapi app
• protect fastapi routes with bearer tokens
• implement login and refresh token flow in python
• verify oauth2 access tokens from an external identity provider
• cookie-based authentication with csrf for server-rendered fastapi pages
• revoke or blocklist jwt tokens in fastapi
• add prometheus metrics and redis caching to fastapi endpoints

When to choose

• you are building an API or SSR app with FastAPI and need JWT auth out of the box
• you want configurable token locations including cookies with CSRF protection
• you need token freshness, refresh tokens, and revocation in one package
• you want optional extras like Redis session storage, HTTP caching, and Prometheus metrics

When to avoid

• your project does not use FastAPI or the Starlette/Pydantic stack
• you need a full identity provider with user registration, password reset, and social login management
• you require enterprise SSO features like SAML or LDAP out of the box
• you need a framework-agnostic auth solution independent of FastAPI
