WeChat-OAuth2¶

A simple Python WeChat OAuth2 library built on top of rauth.

Installation¶

Install the module with one of the following commands:

$ pip install WeChat-OAuth2

Or if you must:

$ easy_install Wechat-OAuth2

Usage¶

If you want to check out the complete API documentation, go ahead.

The easiest way to get started is by setting up a service wrapper. To do so simply import the service container object:

from wechat_oauth2 import WeChatService

wechat = WeChatService(
    appid='app id',
    secret='app secret')

Using the service wrapper API we can obtain an access token after the authorization URL has been visited by the client. First generate the authorization URL:

redirect_uri = 'https://example.com/connect/login_success.html'
params = {'scope': 'snsapi_userinfo',
          'redirect_uri': redirect_uri}

url = wechat.get_authorize_url(**params)

Once this URL has been visited and (presumably) the client authorizes the application an access token can be obtained:

# the code should be returned upon the redirect from the authorize step,
# be sure to use it here (hint: it's in the URL!)
session = wechat.get_auth_session(code)

print session.get('userinfo').json()['openid']
