Rauth is a Python library for consuming OAuth 1.0/a, OAuth 2.0, and Ofly APIs, built on top of Requests. It provides service wrapper classes and authenticated session objects to simplify the OAuth handshake and subsequent API calls.

Use cases

  • authenticate with twitter api using oauth 1.0
  • add oauth 2.0 login to a python app
  • fetch a user's twitter timeline from a script
  • connect to third-party apis requiring oauth
  • create authenticated http sessions with keep-alive
  • implement ofly authentication for shutterfly

When to choose

  • you need a lightweight, requests-based OAuth consumer library in Python
  • you must support OAuth 1.0/a as well as OAuth 2.0
  • you want simple service wrappers for common OAuth flows

When to avoid

  • you need an OAuth provider/server implementation rather than a consumer
  • you need actively maintained support for the latest Python versions and modern OAuth extensions
  • you need OpenID Connect or advanced OAuth 2.1 features
