This our example repository for the seminar Internet Overlords.

Usefull commands

Install the needed requirements for this project.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Next we need to create and update the local database Django uses internally.

python manage.py migrate
python manage.py migrate oauth2_provider

And that is already all you need to do for setup. So we can now start the server locally on port 8000.

python manage.py runserver 127.0.0.1:8000

To register a new client, simply visit: http://127.0.0.1:8000/o/applications/.

And to test your authorization you can visit http://django-oauth-toolkit.herokuapp.com/consumer/ to generate a correct link.

There are several advantages of using Django:

• big community
• strong documentation
• plug and play modules available

Advantages of using Django in combination with OAuth plugin:

• several authentication backends already available
  • can be used with OAuth module by design
• simple setup
• maintained module

More in depth documentation about Django in general can be found in the offical documentation.

Special documentation for the OAuth module can be found here.
