Example of how to use Flask with requests-oauthlib to fetch a GitHub user profile using an OAuth 2 token.
from requests_oauthlib import OAuth2Session
from flask import Flask, request, redirect, session, url_for
from flask.json import jsonify
import os
app = Flask(__name__)
# This information is obtained upon registration of a new GitHub
client_id = "<your client key>"
client_secret = "<your client secret>"
authorization_base_url = 'https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize'
token_url = 'https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token'
@app.route("/")
def demo():
"""Step 1: User Authorization.
Redirect the user/resource owner to the OAuth provider (i.e. Github)
using an URL with a few key OAuth parameters.
"""
github = OAuth2Session(client_id)
authorization_url, state = github.authorization_url(authorization_base_url)
# State is used to prevent CSRF, keep this for later.
session['oauth_state'] = state
return redirect(authorization_url)
# Step 2: User authorization, this happens on the provider.
@app.route("/callback", methods=["GET"])
def callback():
""" Step 3: Retrieving an access token.
The user has been redirected back from the provider to your registered
callback URL. With this redirection comes an authorization code included
in the redirect URL. We will use that to obtain an access token.
"""
github = OAuth2Session(client_id, state=session['oauth_state'])
token = github.fetch_token(token_url, client_secret=client_secret,
authorization_response=request.url)
# At this point you can fetch protected resources but lets save
# the token and show how this is done from a persisted token
# in /profile.
session['oauth_token'] = token
return redirect(url_for('.profile'))
@app.route("/profile", methods=["GET"])
def profile():
"""Fetching a protected resource using an OAuth 2 token.
"""
github = OAuth2Session(client_id, token=session['oauth_token'])
return jsonify(github.get('https://api.github.com/user').json())
if __name__ == "__main__":
# This allows us to use a plain HTTP callback
os.environ['DEBUG'] = "1"
app.secret_key = os.urandom(24)
app.run(debug=True)

Thank You!

Solved the error above! Notice I am using https instead of http for the localhost url. And that server was treating this as a Bad Request. Removed the s and everything worked as expected! :)

Hahahahaah this just happened to me, took me finding this message after 40 mins of research

Add _scheme='https' in url_for(...). This will make a URL and redirect it.
A solution while getting Bad Request when you use https instead of http.

Hope it does help you. 🙂
