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
