Usage¶

Create a client¶

A generic OAuth2 class is provided to adapt to any OAuth2-compliant service. You can instantiate it like this:

from httpx_oauth.oauth2 import OAuth2

client = OAuth2(
    "CLIENT_ID",
    "CLIENT_SECRET",
    "AUTHORIZE_ENDPOINT",
    "ACCESS_TOKEN_ENDPOINT",
    refresh_token_endpoint="REFRESH_TOKEN_ENDPOINT",
    revoke_token_endpoint="REVOKE_TOKEN_ENDPOINT",
)

Note that refresh_token_endpoint and revoke_token_endpoint are optional since not every services propose to refresh and revoke tokens.

Generate an authorization URL¶

Use the get_authorization_url method to generate the authorization URL where you should redirect the user to ask for their approval.

authorization_url = await client.get_authorization_url(
    "https://www.tintagel.bt/oauth-callback", scope=["SCOPE1", "SCOPE2", "SCOPE3"],
)

Request an access token¶

Once you have the authorization code, use the get_access_token method to exchange it with a valid access token.

It returns an OAuth2Token dictionary-like object.

access_token = await client.get_access_token("CODE", "https://www.tintagel.bt/oauth-callback")

Refresh an access token¶

For providers supporting it, you can ask for a fresh access token given a refresh token. For this, use the refresh_token method.

It returns an OAuth2Token dictionary-like object.

access_token = await client.refresh_token("REFRESH_TOKEN")

Revoke an access or refresh token¶

For providers supporting it, you can ask to revoke an access or refresh token. For this, use the revoke_token method.

Get authenticated user ID and email¶

For convenience, we provide a method that'll use a valid access token to query the provider API and get the ID and the email (if available) of the authenticated user. For this, use the get_id_email method.

This method is implemented specifically on each provider.

Provided clients¶

Out-of-the box, we support lot of popular providers like Google or Facebook, for which we provided dedicated classes with pre-configured endpoints.

Customize HTTPX client¶

By default, requests are made using httpx.AsyncClient with default parameters. If you wish to customize settings, like setting timeout or proxies, you can do this by overloading the get_httpx_client method.

from typing import AsyncContextManager

import httpx
from httpx_oauth.oauth2 import OAuth2


class OAuth2CustomTimeout(OAuth2):
    def get_httpx_client(self) -> AsyncContextManager[httpx.AsyncClient]:
        return httpx.AsyncClient(timeout=10.0)  # Use a default 10s timeout everywhere.


client = OAuth2CustomTimeout(
    "CLIENT_ID",
    "CLIENT_SECRET",
    "AUTHORIZE_ENDPOINT",
    "ACCESS_TOKEN_ENDPOINT",
    refresh_token_endpoint="REFRESH_TOKEN_ENDPOINT",
    revoke_token_endpoint="REVOKE_TOKEN_ENDPOINT",
)
