Configure OAuth 1.0a Authentication for REST

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.SetAuthOAuth1, which associates an OAuth1 provider so Chilkat computes the OAuth 1.0/1.0a signature for each request. The second argument selects whether OAuth parameters are placed in the query string or the Authorization header.

import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

rest = chilkat2.Rest()
bTls = True
bAutoReconnect = True
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
if (success == False):
    print(rest.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Configure OAuth 1.0a request signing.  Provide the consumer credentials and the access token
# credentials; Chilkat computes the OAuth signature for each request.
oauth1 = chilkat2.OAuth1()
# Normally you would not hard-code secrets in source.  You should instead obtain them from an
# interactive prompt, environment variable, or a secrets vault.
oauth1.ConsumerKey = "CONSUMER_KEY"
oauth1.ConsumerSecret = "CONSUMER_SECRET"
oauth1.Token = "ACCESS_TOKEN"
oauth1.TokenSecret = "ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET"
oauth1.SignatureMethod = "HMAC-SHA1"

# The 2nd argument selects whether OAuth parameters are placed in the query string (True) or the
# Authorization header (False).
bUseQueryParams = False
success = rest.SetAuthOAuth1(oauth1,bUseQueryParams)
if (success == False):
    print(rest.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

responseText = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/api/resource")
