Creating an authentication Request

If we remember the theme of the third chapter, we learned different kinds of authentication with requests, such as Basic authentication, Digest authentication, and OAuth authentication. Time to apply all that stuff in real time!

Now, we will be using OAuth1 authentication to get the access to the Twitter API. In the first step of obtaining a key, we got access to Consumer key, Consumer secret, Access token and Access token secret, now we should use them to authenticate our application. The following commands show how we can accomplish the process:

>>> import requests >>> from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1 >>> CONSUMER_KEY = 'YOUR_APP_CONSUMER_KEY' >>> CONSUMER_SECRET = 'YOUR_APP_CONSUMER_SECRET' >>> ACCESS_TOKEN = 'YOUR_APP_ACCESS_TOKEN' >>> ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = 'YOUR_APP_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET' >>> auth = OAuth1(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, ... ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET)
