yahoo_oauth

Yahoo_OAuth is a very easy to use OAuth library for Yahoo! APIs.

Installation

pip install yahoo_oauth

Quickstart

Wether you use OAuth1 or OAuth2, only 2 parameters are required.

• consumer_key
• consumer_secret

I recommend putting those two into a file. Only json and yaml files are supported

{
    "consumer_key": "my_very_long_and_weird_consumer_key",
    "consumer_secret": "my_not_that_long_consumer_secret"
}

Once you acquired your access_token, this file will look like :

• OAuth1

{
    "access_token": "A=5ZnN5xXY5yKacQp1QtUF68MlEmXVIF8fRplkc7W1QMVYeLJ2DdBmNyH7SxVgUbAjdv5edCnk_DEUbfr6GpqezsSAuE9h36wfh.J45twIo1sA.bqMk7Bta6IisI9z1_h8D0QZzWYmjybxlQcuNgd7TY4nJuu_Afj_8ED787BQbjg6OqRotV.eM4_YyBCjP1K8G6rG44iX2PGNj.JSEJrocgvglABkTTVA_8t.JoLH7NHSgxCQXhakBsk3_K.6Rkgm_Nkc7.ZD02pYy3dJAfBh1fFvtrCwIOqDIplri305dZ1UY430X6SfPnZIFJNiTWkMH8_QRhcnfizG5TZugN_.0ib2VnnUzspeFT0_86p6WMP3uFOLYXspdEOryhSJwFJ3AHZN9n.t8euRQOxanpsvw5M5ffBs6P0dI5FijGw3fibbqoheJOSUE_BRUNEL_KOUKAJSsJCH(^_^)JHllHmJUptK9k5ifiqJOpTbodnW8EsyyNhthDOusv5Bp6142mvCPnC7HX7PkTodHqfgVyAUOvOqSsqMGyc65OY8roLORKpUWObw9bjd8YsU40jwSaGZtWmvVhYV9RxUA779bRuE1k0BL_fvXQ_tlZnxPhtIFBB64szQ9AwA9HT_nZKq8q1rOfUcBIZJ7Zu1jwpZUAOkHsfmHWCW2gK8BC4wjk0WuJg95FpZ2z741mhRcdma2bVYpdh3k2DdaBVYRTDT36Q4SBtreb_GNi1Mctg.RhSqopCTTvW4jjXAkt2SHnscUi37v0yo4JVex0cnVmVTFL7TRl1JMLl9jt0XmaLaKuS4nhR4A--",

With that you should be good to go.

Normally, once your got all that, you can use the same credentials FOREVER, you just have to REFRESH THEM.

Examples

OAuth1

from yahoo_oauth import OAuth1
oauth = OAuth1(None, None, from_file='oauth1.json')
...

if not oauth.token_is_valid():
    oauth.refresh_access_token()

# Example
response = oauth.session.post(url, data=body)

OAuth2

from yahoo_oauth import OAuth2
oauth = OAuth2(None, None, from_file='oauth2.json')
...

if not oauth.token_is_valid():
    oauth.refresh_access_token()
# Example
response = oauth.session.get(url, params=payload)

Tips

• How to get your Global Unique Identifier (GUID)

from yahoo_oauth import OAuth2

oauth = OAuth2('consumer_key', 'consumer_secret')
guid = oauth.guid

• How to disable Yahoo_OAuth Logger

import logging
oauth_logger = logging.getLogger('yahoo_oauth')
oauth_logger.disabled = True
