Securing Flask-Restful API with OAuth2

Question

Okay, so I wrote an API using Flask-Restful and now I want to implement OAuth2 authorization.

I've tried pyoauth2, but it's undocumented and the tutorial is quite complicated.

So, my question is: How do I do that?

Answer 1

1. Follow the flask-oauthlib guide to get a basic endpoint set up. Ensure that it works with a vanilla flask endpoint.

2. Configure your API to use the oauth decorator.

   oauth = OAuth2Provider(app)
   api = restful.Api(app, decorators=[oauth.require_oauth('email')])
