It wraps these authentication schemes into classes that integrate directly with requests' auth parameter, eliminating the need to manually construct headers or manage token lifecycles.\n\nThe package supports multiple OAuth2 flows (Authorization Code, PKCE, Client Credentials, Resource Owner Password, Implicit) with built-in support for identity providers like Okta and Microsoft Entra. It handles token caching, automatic refresh, and early expiry detection to prevent token timeouts mid-request. You pass an authentication instance to requests.get() or any other HTTP method, and the library manages credential exchange and header injection transparently.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is stable, permissively licensed, has low install friction, and solves a common problem\u2014integrating multiple authentication schemes with requests. Dormant maintenance is not a blocker for a feature-complete auth library, but verify that your target OAuth2 provider and requests version are compatible before relying on it for new projects."},"id":"requests-auth","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/requests-auth","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/requests-auth.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/requests-auth/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-06-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"requests-auth","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Authentication for Requests"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":241208,"position":8883,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"8.0.0"}
