If you're building your own command-line application, you can use Stack Auth to let users log in from a terminal.
|
|
|
|
<Info>
|
|
This page is about adding authentication to your own CLI app. For the official `stack` command, see the [Stack CLI guide](/guides/going-further/cli).
|
|
</Info>
|
|
|
|
To do so, we provide a Python template that you can use as a starting point. [Download it here](https://github.com/hexclave/stack-auth/tree/main/docs/public/stack-auth-cli-template.py) and copy it into your project, for example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
└─ my-python-app
|
|
├─ main.py
|
|
└─ stack_auth_cli_template.py # <- the file you just downloaded (rename to use underscores for Python import)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, you can import the `prompt_cli_login` function:
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
from stack_auth_cli_template import prompt_cli_login
|
|
|
|
# prompt the user to log in
|
|
refresh_token = prompt_cli_login(
|
|
app_url="https://your-app-url.example.com",
|
|
project_id="your-project-id-here",
|
|
publishable_client_key="your-publishable-client-key-here",
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
if refresh_token is None:
|
|
print("User cancelled the login process. Exiting")
|
|
exit(1)
|
|
|
|
# you can also store the refresh token in a file, and only prompt the user to log in if the file doesn't exist
|
|
|
|
# you can now use the REST API with the refresh token
|
|
def stack_auth_request(method, endpoint, **kwargs):
|
|
# ... see the REST API overview for required Stack Auth headers
|
|
# https://docs.stack-auth.com/api/overview
|
|
|
|
def get_access_token(refresh_token):
|
|
access_token_response = stack_auth_request(
|
|
'post',
|
|
'/api/v1/auth/sessions/current/refresh',
|
|
headers={
|
|
'x-stack-refresh-token': refresh_token,
|
|
}
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
return access_token_response['access_token']
|
|
|
|
def get_user_object(access_token):
|
|
return stack_auth_request(
|
|
'get',
|
|
'/api/v1/users/me',
|
|
headers={
|
|
'x-stack-access-token': access_token,
|
|
}
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
user = get_user_object(get_access_token(refresh_token))
|
|
print("The user is logged in as", user['display_name'] or user['primary_email'])
|
|
```
