# vonage-network-auth — Package for working with Network APIs that require Oauth2 in Python.

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 335.2K/mo

## What it is and what it does

vonage-network-auth is a client library for generating OAuth2-authenticated JWTs needed to call Vonage Network APIs. It wraps HTTP client and authentication logic to produce signed tokens for services like Sim Swap and Number Verification. The package is designed primarily as a component of the larger vonage SDK, though it can be used independently if you need direct control over network authentication.

The package depends on vonage-http-client for HTTP operations, vonage-utils for utility functions, and pydantic for data validation. It requires Python 3.9 or later and has low installation friction as a pure Python wheel. The library is actively maintained and supports modern Python versions through 3.13.

Use it for:

- Generate OAuth2 JWTs for Vonage Sim Swap API calls within your application.
- Authenticate requests to Vonage Number Verification endpoints.
- Integrate network authentication into a custom Vonage SDK implementation.
- Handle OAuth2 token generation for other Vonage Network APIs requiring authentication.
- Standalone authentication client when you need direct control over JWT creation.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Generates authenticated JWTs for Vonage Network APIs that require OAuth2, such as Sim Swap and Number Verification.

Yes, if you need to call Vonage Network APIs that require OAuth2. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, uses a permissive license, and supports current Python versions. Install it as a direct dependency only if using the APIs independently; otherwise, access it through the vonage SDK.

## Install

pip install vonage-network-auth
uv add vonage-network-auth
poetry add vonage-network-auth

## Installing vonage-network-auth

Before you install: Low install friction with a pure Python wheel distribution. Actively maintained as of 2026-07-20 with 213 repository stars. Supports current Python versions from 3.9 through 3.13.

License in practice: Licensed under Apache Software License (permissive), allowing commercial and private use with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart:

pip install vonage-network-auth

from vonage_network_auth import NetworkAuth
from vonage_http_client import HttpClient, Auth

network_auth = NetworkAuth(HttpClient(Auth(application_id='app-id', private_key='key')))

Requires a valid Vonage application ID and private key for authentication.

Verify before relying:

- Whether this package is intended for direct use or primarily as a dependency of the vonage SDK.
- Specific Vonage Network APIs supported beyond Sim Swap and Number Verification.
- JWT expiration and refresh token handling mechanisms.
