In my current project I had a task to use twitter API. Twitter uses OAuth for authentication, which is pretty dreary. To avoid fiddling with it all the time, I've moved authentication to decorator, now it looks like this:
@twitter_api
def tweet_hello(request, api):
api.update_status('hello')# ...Decorator checks if key is available, and, if needed - initiates authentication. User is redirected to twitter, grants permission and is redirected back to site, to the same place where he left off. If key is available - nothing happens, just view is launched as usual.
It's convenient that there's no need for additional twitter settings in user profile.
tweepy is used as an API wrapper.
def twitter_api(view):
def wrapped(request, args, *kwargs):
callback_url = absolute_url(oauth_endpoint)
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, callback_url)
if 'twitter_access_token' in request.session:
key, secret = request.session['twitter_access_token']
auth.set_access_token(key, secret)
return view(request, api=tweepy.API(auth), *args, **kwargs)
request.session['twitter_action'] = request.path
redirect_url = auth.get_authorization_url()
request.session['twitter_request_token'] = (auth.request_token.key, auth.request_token.secret)
return redirect(redirect_url)
return wrapped
def oauth_endpoint(request):
callback_url = absolute_url(oauth_endpoint)
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, callback_url)
key, secret = request.session.pop('twitter_request_token')
auth.set_request_token(key, secret)
verifier = request.REQUEST.get('oauth_verifier')
auth.get_access_token(verifier)
request.session['twitter_access_token'] = (auth.access_token.key, auth.access_token.secret)
return redirect(request.session.pop('twitter_action'))- of course, you need to wrap everything in try..except blocks and process errors accordingly
absolute_urlshould return full url, with http://- apart from
request.pathyou can also storePOSTandGET. - path can be passed as an argument to
callback_url
