It handles the OAuth redirect flow with Cognito, retrieves and validates access tokens, and exposes user claims to route handlers. The package depends on Flask, python-jose for JWT validation, and requests for HTTP calls to Cognito endpoints.\n\nThe extension is configured via Flask's app.config with your Cognito domain, user pool ID, and client credentials. Routes are protected with the @authentication_required decorator, which enforces that a valid token is present before the handler runs. Claims are then available as aws_auth.claims or via Flask's g object. However, the package has been abandoned since its last commit on 2021-04-29 and will not track changes to Flask, AWS Cognito's token formats, or its dependencies.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last commit 2021-04-29) and will not receive updates for new Flask versions, modern dependency versions, or changes to AWS Cognito's token formats. For new projects, use a maintained alternative. For existing projects still on older Flask versions with frozen dependencies, it may work, but you assume all maintenance risk."},"id":"flask-awscognito","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-awscognito","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-awscognito.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flask-awscognito/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-12-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"Flask-AWSCognito","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Authenticate users with AWS Cognito"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":80526,"position":14287,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.3"}
