Okta (OpenID Connect Implicit ID token)

Okta Implicit Grant providing ID tokens is supported.

Use requests_auth.OktaImplicitIdToken to configure this kind of authentication.

import requests
from requests_auth import OktaImplicitIdToken


okta = OktaImplicitIdToken(instance='testserver.okta-emea.com', client_id='54239d18-c68c-4c47-8bdd-ce71ea1d50cd')
requests.get('https://www.example.com', auth=okta)

Note:

You can persist tokens thanks to the token cache.
You can tweak web browser interaction thanks to the display settings.

Parameters

`instance`	Okta instance (like "testserver.okta-emea.com").	Mandatory
`client_id`	Okta Application Identifier (formatted as an Universal Unique Identifier).	Mandatory
`response_type`	Value of the response_type query parameter if not already provided in authorization URL.	Optional	id_token
`token_field_name`	Field name containing the token.	Optional	id_token
`early_expiry`	Number of seconds before actual token expiry where token will be considered as expired. Used to ensure token will not expire between the time of retrieval and the time the request reaches the actual server.

`redirect_uri_port`	The port on which the server listening for the OAuth 2 token will be started.	Optional	5000
`timeout`	Maximum amount of seconds to wait for a token to be received once requested.	Optional	60
`header_name`	Name of the header field used to send token.	Optional	Authorization
`header_value`	Format used to send the token value. "{token}" must be present as it will be replaced by the actual token.	Optional	Bearer {token}

Any other parameter will be put as query parameter in the authorization URL.

Usual extra parameters are:

Name	Description
`prompt`	none to avoid prompting the user if a session is already opened.

Managing token cache

To avoid asking for a new token every new request, a token cache is used.

Default cache is in memory, but it is also possible to use a physical cache.

You need to provide the location of your token cache file. It can be a full or relative path (str or `pathlib.Path).

If the file already exists it will be used, if the file do not exist it will be created.

from requests_auth import OAuth2, JsonTokenFileCache

OAuth2.token_cache = JsonTokenFileCache('path/to/my_token_cache.json')

Managing the web browser

You can configure the browser display settings thanks to requests_auth.OAuth2.display as in the following:

from requests_auth import OAuth2, DisplaySettings

OAuth2.display = DisplaySettings()

The following parameters can be provided to DisplaySettings:

Name	Description	Default value
`success_display_time`	In case a code or token is successfully received, this is the maximum amount of milliseconds the success page will be displayed in your browser.	1
`success_html`	In case a code or token is successfully received, this is the success page that will be displayed in your browser. `{display_time}` is expected in this content.
`failure_display_time`	In case received code or token is not valid, this is the maximum amount of milliseconds the failure page will be displayed in your browser.	10_000
`failure_html`	In case received code or token is not valid, this is the failure page that will be displayed in your browser. `{information}` and `{display_time}` are expected in this content.

API key in header

You can send an API key inside the header of your request using requests_auth.HeaderApiKey.

import requests
from requests_auth import HeaderApiKey

requests.get('https://www.example.com', auth=HeaderApiKey('my_api_key'))

Parameters

Name	Description	Mandatory	Default value
`api_key`	The API key that will be sent.	Mandatory
`header_name`	Name of the header field.	Optional	"X-API-Key"

API key in query

You can send an API key inside the query parameters of your request using requests_auth.QueryApiKey.

import requests
from requests_auth import QueryApiKey

requests.get('https://www.example.com', auth=QueryApiKey('my_api_key'))

Parameters

Name	Description	Mandatory	Default value
`api_key`	The API key that will be sent.	Mandatory
`query_parameter_name`	Name of the query parameter.	Optional	"api_key"

Basic

You can use basic authentication using requests_auth.Basic.

The only advantage of using this class instead of requests native support of basic authentication, is to be able to use it in multiple authentication.

import requests
from requests_auth import Basic

requests.get('https://www.example.com', auth=Basic('username', 'password'))

Parameters

Name	Description	Mandatory	Default value
`username`	User name.	Mandatory
`password`	User password.	Mandatory

NTLM

Requires requests-negotiate-sspi module or requests_ntlm module depending on provided parameters.

You can use Windows authentication using requests_auth.NTLM.

import requests
from requests_auth import NTLM

requests.get('https://www.example.com', auth=NTLM())

Parameters

Name	Description	Mandatory	Default value
`username`	User name.	Mandatory if `requests_negotiate_sspi` module is not installed. In such a case `requests_ntlm` module is mandatory.
`password`	User password.	Mandatory if `requests_negotiate_sspi` module is not installed. In such a case `requests_ntlm` module is mandatory.

Multiple authentication at once

You can also use a combination of authentication using + or & as in the following sample:

import requests
from requests_auth import HeaderApiKey, OAuth2Implicit

api_key = HeaderApiKey('my_api_key')
oauth2 = OAuth2Implicit('https://www.example.com')
requests.get('https://www.example.com', auth=api_key + oauth2)

This is supported on every authentication class exposed by requests_auth, but you can also enable it on your own authentication classes by using requests_auth.SupportMultiAuth as in the following sample:

from requests_auth import SupportMultiAuth
# TODO Import your own auth here
from my_package import MyAuth

class MyMultiAuth(MyAuth, SupportMultiAuth):
    pass

Available pytest fixtures

Testing the code using requests_auth authentication classes can be achieved using provided pytest fixtures.

token_cache_mock

from requests_auth.testing import token_cache_mock, token_mock

def test_something(token_cache_mock):
    # perform code using authentication
    pass

Use this fixture to mock authentication success for any of the following classes:

OAuth2AuthorizationCodePKCE
OktaAuthorizationCodePKCE
OAuth2Implicit
OktaImplicit
OktaImplicitIdToken
AzureActiveDirectoryImplicit
AzureActiveDirectoryImplicitIdToken
OAuth2AuthorizationCode
OktaAuthorizationCode
OAuth2ClientCredentials
OktaClientCredentials
OAuth2ResourceOwnerPasswordCredentials,

By default, an access token with value 2YotnFZFEjr1zCsicMWpAA is generated.

You can however return your custom token by providing your own token_mock fixture as in the following sample:

import pytest

from requests_auth.testing import token_cache_mock


@pytest.fixture
def token_mock() -> str:
    return "MyCustomTokenValue"


def test_something(token_cache_mock):
    # perform code using authentication
    pass

You can even return a more complex token by using the create_token function.

Note that pyjwt is a required dependency in this case as it is used to generate the token returned by the authentication.

import pytest

from requests_auth.testing import token_cache_mock, create_token


@pytest.fixture
def token_mock() -> str:
    expiry = None  # TODO Compute your expiry
    return create_token(expiry)


def test_something(token_cache_mock):
    # perform code using authentication
    pass

Advanced testing

token_cache

This pytest fixture will return the token cache and ensure it is reset at the end of the test case.

from requests_auth.testing import token_cache

def test_something(token_cache):
    # perform code using authentication
    pass

browser_mock

This pytest fixture will allow to mock the behavior of a web browser.

With this pytest fixture you will be allowed to fine tune your authentication related failures handling.

pyjwt is a required dependency if you use create_token helper function.

import datetime

from requests_auth.testing import browser_mock, BrowserMock, create_token

def test_something(browser_mock: BrowserMock):
    token_expiry = datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc) + datetime.timedelta(hours=1)
    token = create_token(token_expiry)
    tab = browser_mock.add_response(
        opened_url="http://url_opened_by_browser?state=1234",
        reply_url=f"http://localhost:5000#access_token={token}&state=1234",
    )

    # perform code using authentication

    tab.assert_success()

Endorsements

I love requests_auth. As a ~15 year pythonista, this library makes working with OAuth services a breeze. <333
