Getting OAuth Working with django-piston

This is a bare-skeleton Django application which demonstrates how you can add an API to your own applications.

It's a simple blog application, with a "Blogpost" model, with an API on top of it. It has a fixture which contains a sample user (used as author and for auth) and a couple of posts. You can get started like so:

$ cd django-piston/examples/oauth $ mkvirtualenv piston $ easy_install pip $ pip install -U -E ~/.virtualenvs/piston -r ./req-piston.txt

$ cdsitepackages $ vim easy-install.pth $ vim django-piston.egg-link $ deactivate $ cd django-piston/examples/oauth $ workon piston $ ./manage.py syncdb --settings=settings (answer "no" when it asks for superuser creation) $ ./run.sh

Now, the admin and test user has authentication info:

Username: admin Password: admin

Username: testuser Password: foobar

Running

"You are unauthenticated. (API protected by OAuth)." In browser:
http://localhost:8000/api/posts.json

Running Client

# make sure "oauth_client.py" has correct hostname
$ python oauth_client.py #create new token/secret, put "oauth_token" link in browser, "what is PIN? aka 'oauth_verifier'"
