Crate yup_oauth2
source · [−]Expand description
This library can be used to acquire oauth2.0 authentication for services.
For your application to use this library, you will have to obtain an application id and secret by following this guide (for Google services) respectively the documentation of the API provider you want to connect to.
Device Flow Usage
With an application secret you can get started right away, building a DeviceFlowAuthenticator
and obtaining tokens from it.
Service account “flow”
When using service account credentials, no user interaction is required. The access token
can be obtained automatically using the private key of the client (which you can download
from the API provider). See examples/service_account/
for an example on how to use service
account credentials. See
developers.google.com
for a detailed description of the protocol. This crate implements OAuth for Service Accounts
based on the Google APIs; it may or may not work with other providers.
Installed Flow Usage
The installed flow involves showing a URL to the user (or opening it in a browser) and then either prompting the user to enter a displayed code, or make the authorizing website redirect to a web server spun up by this library and running on localhost.
In order to use the interactive method, use the Interactive
InstalledFlowReturnMethod
;
for the redirect method, use HTTPRedirect
.
You can implement your own AuthenticatorDelegate
in order to customize the flow;
the installed flow uses the present_user_url
method.
The returned Token
will be stored in memory in order to authorize future
API requests to the same scopes. The tokens can optionally be persisted to
disk by using persist_tokens_to_disk
when creating the authenticator.
The following example, which is derived from the (actual and runnable) example in
examples/test-installed/
, shows the basics of using this crate:
use yup_oauth2::{InstalledFlowAuthenticator, InstalledFlowReturnMethod};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
// Read application secret from a file. Sometimes it's easier to compile it directly into
// the binary. The clientsecret file contains JSON like `{"installed":{"client_id": ... }}`
let secret = yup_oauth2::read_application_secret("clientsecret.json")
.await
.expect("clientsecret.json");
// Create an authenticator that uses an InstalledFlow to authenticate. The
// authentication tokens are persisted to a file named tokencache.json. The
// authenticator takes care of caching tokens to disk and refreshing tokens once
// they've expired.
let mut auth = InstalledFlowAuthenticator::builder(secret, InstalledFlowReturnMethod::HTTPRedirect)
.persist_tokens_to_disk("tokencache.json")
.build()
.await
.unwrap();
let scopes = &["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file"];
// token(<scopes>) is the one important function of this crate; it does everything to
// obtain a token that can be sent e.g. as Bearer token.
match auth.token(scopes).await {
Ok(token) => println!("The token is {:?}", token),
Err(e) => println!("error: {:?}", e),
}
}
