Safely pass data to untrusted environments and back.
... so better sign this
Various helpers to pass data to untrusted environments and to get it back safe and sound. Data is cryptographically signed to ensure that a token has not been tampered with.
It's possible to customize how data is serialized. Data is compressed as needed. A timestamp can be added and verified automatically while loading a token.
Install and update using pip
_:
.. code-block:: text
pip install -U itsdangerous
.. _pip: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/getting-started/
Here's how you could generate a token for transmitting a user's id and name between web requests.
.. code-block:: python
from itsdangerous import URLSafeSerializer
auth_s = URLSafeSerializer("secret key", "auth")
token = auth_s.dumps({"id": 5, "name": "itsdangerous"})
print(token)
# eyJpZCI6NSwibmFtZSI6Iml0c2Rhbmdlcm91cyJ9.6YP6T0BaO67XP--9UzTrmurXSmg
data = auth_s.loads(token)
print(data["name"])
# itsdangerous
