Auth0 + Python + Flask API Seed

This is the seed project you need to use if you're going to create a Python + Flask API. If you just want to create a Regular Python WebApp, please check this project

Please check our Quickstart to better understand this sample.

Running the example

In order to run the example you need to have python and pip installed.

You also need to set your Auth0 Domain and the API's audience as environment variables with the following names respectively: AUTH0_DOMAIN and API_IDENTIFIER, which is the audience of your API. You can find an example in the env.example file.

For that, if you just create a file named .env in the directory and set the values like the following, the app will just work:

# .env file
AUTH0_DOMAIN=example.auth0.com
API_IDENTIFIER={API_IDENTIFIER}

Once you've set those 2 environment variables:

Install the needed dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt
Start the server with python server.py
Try calling http://localhost:3010/api/public

Testing the API

You can then try to do a GET to http://localhost:3010/api/private which will throw an error if you don't send an access token signed with RS256 with the appropriate issuer and audience in the Authorization header.

You can also try to do a GET to http://localhost:3010/api/private-scoped which will throw an error if you don't send an access token with the scope read:messages signed with RS256 with the appropriate issuer and audience in the Authorization header.

Running the example with Docker

In order to run the sample with Docker you need to add the AUTH0_DOMAIN and API_ID to the .env filed as explained previously and then

Execute in command line sh exec.sh to run the Docker in Linux, or .\exec.ps1 to run the Docker in Windows.
Try calling http://localhost:3010/api/public
