Some of the supported authentication

Available authentication

OAuth 2

Most of OAuth2 flows are supported.

If the one you are looking for is not yet supported, feel free to ask for its implementation.

Authorization Code flow

Authorization Code Grant is implemented following rfc6749.

Use httpx_auth.OAuth2AuthorizationCode to configure this kind of authentication.

import httpx
from httpx_auth import OAuth2AuthorizationCode

with httpx.Client() as client:
    client.get('https://www.example.com', auth=OAuth2AuthorizationCode('https://www.authorization.url', 'https://www.token.url'))

scope Scope parameter sent in query. Can also be a list of scopes. Optional ['openid', 'profile', 'email']
authorization_server Okta authorization server. Optional 'default'
redirect_uri_endpoint Custom endpoint that will be used as redirect_uri the following way: http://localhost:<redirect_uri_port>/<redirect_uri_endpoint>. Optional ''
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
success_display_time In case a token is successfully received, this is the maximum amount of milliseconds the success page will be displayed in your browser. Optional 1
failure_display_time In case received token is not valid, this is the maximum amount of milliseconds the failure page will be displayed in your browser. Optional 5000
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.

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

from httpx_auth import OAuth2, JsonTokenFileCache

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

AWS Signature v4

Amazon Web Service Signature version 4 is implemented following Amazon S3 documentation and request-aws4auth.

Use httpx_auth.AWS4Auth to configure this kind of authentication.

import httpx
from httpx_auth import AWS4Auth

aws = AWS4Auth(access_id="my-access-id", secret_key="my-secret-key", region="eu-west-1", service="s3")
with httpx.Client() as client:
    client.get('http://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com', auth=aws)

Parameters

Name Description Mandatory Default value
access_id AWS access ID. Mandatory
secret_key AWS secret access key. Mandatory
region The region you are connecting to, as per this list. For services which do not require a region (e.g. IAM), use us-east-1. Mandatory
service The name of the service you are connecting to, as per this list. e.g. elasticbeanstalk. Mandatory
security_token Used for the x-amz-security-token header, for use with STS temporary credentials. Optional

API key in header

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

import httpx
from httpx_auth import HeaderApiKey

with httpx.Client() as client:
    client.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 httpx_auth.QueryApiKey.

import httpx
from httpx_auth import QueryApiKey

with httpx.Client() as client:
    client.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 httpx_auth.Basic.

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

import httpx
from httpx_auth import Basic

with httpx.Client() as client:
    client.get('https://www.example.com', auth=Basic('username', 'password'))

Parameters

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

Multiple authentication at once

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

import httpx
from httpx_auth import HeaderApiKey, OAuth2Implicit

api_key = HeaderApiKey('my_api_key')
oauth2 = OAuth2Implicit('https://www.example.com')
with httpx.Client() as client:
    client.get('https://www.example.com', auth=api_key + oauth2)

Available pytest fixtures

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

token_cache_mock

from httpx_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 httpx_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 httpx_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 httpx_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 httpx_auth.testing import browser_mock, BrowserMock, create_token

def test_something(browser_mock: BrowserMock):
    token_expiry = datetime.datetime.utcnow() + 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(
        "You are now authenticated on 1234 You may close this tab."
    )
