A Python library that adds OAuth 1 and OAuth 2 authentication support to the Requests HTTP library. It wraps OAuthlib to provide simple session classes for authenticating against OAuth-protected APIs.
Use cases
- authenticate python requests against oauth2 apis
- call twitter api with oauth1 from python
- add oauth authorization code flow to http client
- get access tokens for google api with requests
- sign http requests with oauth1 credentials
When to choose
- you use the requests library and need OAuth 1 or OAuth 2 authentication
- you want a simple, well-documented wrapper over OAuthlib
- you need to interact with OAuth-protected APIs like Twitter or Google
When to avoid
- you need raw OAuth server/provider implementation (use oauthlib directly)
- you use an HTTP client other than requests
- you need async HTTP requests
