Oauth Example Authentication with Flickr using requests_oauthlib in Python

gistfile1.txt

import requests_oauthlib

api_key = <api_key_here>
api_secret = <api_secret_here>

# OAuth URLs
request_token_url = 'https://www.flickr.com/services/oauth/request_token'
access_token_url = 'https://www.flickr.com/services/oauth/access_token'
authorization_url = 'https://www.flickr.com/services/oauth/authorize'

callback_uri = <callback_uri_here>

oauth_session = requests_oauthlib.OAuth1Session(client_key=api_key, client_secret=api_secret, signature_method=u'HMAC-SHA1', signature_type=u'AUTH_HEADER', callback_uri=callback_uri)

# First step, fetch the request token:
request_token = oauth_session.fetch_request_token(request_token_url)

# Second step, follow this link and authorize:
print oauth_session.authorization_url(authorization_url)

# Third step, fetch the access token:
redirect_response = raw_input('Paste the full redirect URL here.')
print oauth_session.parse_authorization_response(redirect_response)
print oauth_session.fetch_access_token(access_token_url)

# Done! You can now make authenticated requests using the token and token secret.

It saves my day, thanks !

Hello, I tried to use your code. But I can't understand the redirect_response. What is the full redirect URL? I used my callback_uri again, but failed like the following.

https://www.flickr.com/services/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=72157668148760831-21176a0ae4bb4a5c
Paste the full redirect URL here.https://yihuangportfolio.wordpress.com/
Traceback (most recent call last):

Is that the redirect URL you specified when you created your API key?

This works great, although I had to append &perms=read (or write / delete) to oauth_session.authorization_url(authorization_url) in order to obtain a valid authorization link.

Nice work! You've made this process as simple as I think it can possibly be.

Python 3+ needs a few tweaks to get it working:

• print statements require parenthesis around the entire value
• raw_input has been renamed to input

Hey all,

If you have the urge, check out the Python Flickr API. Consult the wiki for steps similar to the ones on this gist for getting tokens and authenticating!

@blairg23 - would love to get your code in the project. Your method is the best I've found. Consider a PR!
