[Building Sakai] authentication for consuming rest apis.

[William Karavites]

Chris, 


Thanks for the info! Getting rid of website scraping would make it much more fluid and lightweight. It'll also make it much easier to implement across platforms. 

I'll have to take a look at it and see how easy it would be to implement it.

You can also get a session by posting to /direct/session?_username=user&_password=pw. This also sends back a session cookie, but it would eliminate the need for website scraping.

If anyone has a Python3 supported library please let me know.

Anup, 


I'm the creator of SakaiPy and would love to assist you in using it if you need any help. I haven't had much time lately to go more into its development but it is stable at this point. 

The way it works is that you enter in a URL that contains the login form for your Sakai Installation. After you enter the password/username fields and values, it passes back a cookie to you which allows you to access the /direct API. 

It's currently limited to only a few tools but once I have time, I'm planning to extend it to more and also give it a 'blank space'(not the Taylor Swift song) functionality, so that you can put in your own /direct links. 

Please feel free to message or call me if you have any questions.

Hi Anup, 

Check this out! 

http://willkara.com/sakaipy-the-sakai-python-restful-interface/ 

You could use the library directly and I also imagine it has good examples. It supports Python 2, last I heard, and not Python 3. 


Cheers, 
Neal

Hi, 

I am currently working on an external application which will consume the rest 
apis (/direct). I am having trouble figuring out how to do the authentication 
for the same using oauth 1.0 in my python code? 

If anyone has an example, that would be very helpful. 

Thanks, 
Anup
