Firefox Accounts client library for Python
Project description
This is python library for interacting with the Firefox Accounts ecosystem. It’s highly experimental and subject to change. Eventually, it is planned to provide easy support for the following features:
being a direct firefox accounts authentication client
being an FxA OAuth Service Provider
accessing attached services
But none of that is ready yet; caveat emptor.
Firefox Accounts
Currently, basic auth-server operations should work like so:
from fxa.core import Client
client = Client("https://api.accounts.firefox.com")
client.create_account("test@example.com", "MySecretPassword")
session = client.login("test@example.com", "MySecretPassword")
cert = session.sign_certificate(myPublicKey)
session.change_password("MySecretPassword", "ThisIsEvenMoreSecret")FxA OAuth Relier
Trade the authentication code against a longer lived OAuth token:
from fxa.oauth import Client
client = Client()
token = client.trade_code("client-id", "client-secret", "code-1234")Verify an OAuth token:
from fxa.oauth import Client
from fxa.errors import ClientError
client = Client()
try:
profile = client.verify_token("123456...")
except ClientError:
print "Invalid token"
print("User id", profile["user"])Testing email addresses
There’s also very basic integration with restmail.net, to allow for testing with live email addresses. It works like this:
from fxa.core import Client
from fxa.tests.utils import TestEmailAccount
# Create a testing account using an @restmail.net address.
acct = TestEmailAccount()
client = Client("https://api.accounts.firefox.com")
session = client.create_account(acct.email, "MySecretPassword")
# Verify the account using the code from email.
acct.fetch()
for m in acct.messages:
if "x-verify-code" in m["headers"]:
session.verify_email_code(m["headers"]["x-verify-code"])
...
# Destroy the account once you're done with it.
acct.clear()
client.destroy_account(acct.email, "MySecretPassword")PENDING
Initial release.
