tokenmanager

tokenmanager

Very simple. You have tokens for all your REST APIs. This library manages them.

What is this for?

In my own work, I find myself having to code up a solution to the problem: "I need to connect to this REST API, but I don't want to have the token saved in my code repo." The solutions often involve either sourcing bash scripts with environment variables or saving some out-of-repo config file with the needed token.

The goal of this library is to provide a dead simple solution. Create a "dot" file (~/.tokenmanager.yml) with all of your tokens that you can read from / write to when necessary.

Installation

• Install using pip::

  pip install tokenmanager

• Initialize the .tokenmanager.yml file in your home directory::

  python -m tokenmanager -i

Usage

To add tokens, specify them using YAML syntax::

service_a: 239e896bfe6f3b7705696c8cef84832e760b689a9633c454432fc407cb7a17af
service_b: 18c553b119e52cb7d1ab93699865dab38d02d09d13b453258edf859ec075d9d9
digitalocean:
  app1: a1e1c084540b51b33af3c6b63d48ede2937c8df92f7e6e3beb1f630ac750b851
  app2: 03593464105708646cc04d847ffc81c5b7775c462f68b573f2aff5d933635e17

  token: 0b51b33af3c6b63d48ede2937c8df92f
  number: '[phone]'

To access them from Python::

>>> tokens = tokenmanager.get_tokens()
>>> tokens.service_a
'239e896bfe6f3b7705696c8cef84832e760b689a9633c454432fc407cb7a17af'
>>> tokens.digitalocean.app1
'a1e1c084540b51b33af3c6b63d48ede2937c8df92f7e6e3beb1f630ac750b851'

To use from bash::

$ python -m tokenmanager service_a
239e896bfe6f3b7705696c8cef84832e760b689a9633c454432fc407cb7a17af
$ python -m tokenmanager digitalocean.app1
