Providing OAuth services for Tastypie APIs

Dependencies

This library works with two different OAuth providers, you must install one of them:

• django-oauth-toolkit: https://github.com/evonove/django-oauth-toolkit
• django-oauth2-provider: https://github.com/caffeinehit/django-oauth2-provider

Set up one of these libraries before continuing

Usage

1. Add tastypie_oauth to INSTALLED_APPS in Django.

2. Specify OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN_MODEL in the Django settings. At this time it can be 'oauth2_provider.models.AccessToken' for django-oauth-toolkit and 'provider.oauth2.models.AccessToken' for django-oauth2-provider.

3. When you create your Tastypie resources, use OAuth20Authentication like so:

   # mysite/polls/api.py
   from tastypie.resources import ModelResource
   from tastypie.authorization import DjangoAuthorization
   from polls.models import Poll, Choice
   from tastypie import fields
   from tastypie_oauth.authentication import OAuth20Authentication
   
   class ChoiceResource(ModelResource):
       class Meta:
           queryset = Choice.objects.all()
           resource_name = 'choice'
           authorization = DjangoAuthorization()
           authentication = OAuth20Authentication()
   
   class PollResource(ModelResource):
       choices = fields.ToManyField(ChoiceResource, 'choice_set', full=True)
       class Meta:
           queryset = Poll.objects.all()
           resource_name = 'poll'
           authorization = DjangoAuthorization()
           authentication = OAuth20Authentication()

4. After authorizing the user and gaining an access token, you can use the API almost as before with just one minor change. You must add a oauth_consumer_key GET or POST parameter with the access token as the value, or put the access token in "Authorization" header.
