Requests-OAuthlib |build-status| |coverage-status| |docs|
=========================================================

This project provides first-class OAuth library support for `Requests <https://requests.readthedocs.io>`_.

The OAuth 1 workflow
--------------------

OAuth 1 can seem overly complicated and it sure has its quirks. Luckily,
requests_oauthlib hides most of these and lets you focus on the task at hand.

Accessing protected resources using requests_oauthlib is as simple as:

.. code-block:: pycon

    >>> from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1Session
    >>> twitter = OAuth1Session('client_key',
                                client_secret='client_secret',
                                resource_owner_key='resource_owner_key',
                                resource_owner_secret='resource_owner_secret')
    >>> url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1/account/settings.json'
    >>> r = twitter.get(url)

Before accessing resources you will need to obtain a few credentials from your
provider (e.g. Twitter) and authorization from the user for whom you wish to
retrieve resources. You can read all about this in the full
`OAuth 1 workflow guide on RTD <https://requests-oauthlib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oauth1_workflow.html>`_.

The OAuth 2 workflow
--------------------

OAuth 2 is generally simpler than OAuth 1 but comes in more flavours. The most
common being the Authorization Code Grant, also known as the WebApplication
flow.

Fetching a protected resource after obtaining an access token can be extremely
simple. However, before accessing resources you will need to obtain a few
credentials from your provider (e.g. Google) and authorization from the user
for whom you wish to retrieve resources. You can read all about this in the
full `OAuth 2 workflow guide on RTD <https://requests-oauthlib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oauth2_workflow.html>`_.

Advanced Configurations
-----------------------

Logger Configuration Framework
------------------------------

`requests-oauthlib` now includes a flexible framework for applying custom filters and configurations to the logger, enhancing control over logging behavior and improving security.

Custom Filters
--------------

- **Debug Mode Token Filter**: To enhance security and provide more control over logging of sensitive information, requests-oauthlib introduces the Debug Mode Token Filter. This feature is controlled via the DEBUG_MODE_TOKEN_FILTER environment variable, allowing the suppression or masking of sensitive data in logs.

  Configuring the Debug Mode Token Filter
  ---------------------------------------

  - **Environment Variable**: `REQUESTS_OAUTHLIB_DEBUG_MODE_TOKEN_FILTER`
  - **Options**:
    - `DEFAULT`: No alteration to logging behavior.
    - `MASK`: Masks sensitive tokens in logs.
    - `SUPPRESS`: Prevents logging of potentially sensitive information. (logger ignores these logs entirely)
