YOAuth as Yahoo OAuth

Before going any further i would like to thank Darren Kempiners and Andrew Martin for their help.

The YOAuth class is used to generates an oauth session which will be used in your requests to the YQL Service

Definition

YOAuth(consumer_key, consumer_secret, **kwargs)

  • consumer_key : Client Key of your application.
  • consumer_secret : Client Secret of your application
  • acess_token : The Access Token
  • acess_token_secret : The Acess Token Secret
  • session_handler : The OAuth Session Handler which is required when refreshing the token
  • from_file : File containing the credentials.

The minimum information required in a credentials file are the consumer_key and the consumer_secret. If from_file is provided, the class will be instanciated with data within this file.

>>> from myql.contrib.auth import YOAuth
>>> oauth = YOAuth('khdhkfhbb7rit93ffhbfh', 'urysfjue76885hgf')

Using a credentials json file

credentials.json

{
    "consumer_key" : "khdhkfhbb7rit93ffhbfh",
    "consumer_secret": "urysfjue76885hgf"
}

>>> oauth = YOAuth(None, None, from_file=os.path.realpath('credentials.json'))
