I'm trying to create a program in Python that uses data from Yahoo Fantasy Sports API (Football to be specific). I've already registered an desktop app on the Yahoo Developer Network in order to get permission to use OAuth. I've also gotten the correct urls, client key, and client secret and other necessary information to run the program.
Currently, I am using this website as a resource: https://requests-oauthlib.readthedocs.org/en/latest/oauth1_workflow.html
I managed to complete the get request token phase **, but am now stuck at the **authorization phase, requiring me to get an oauth token and oauth verifier i believe.
However, I'm only able to receive an oauth token, and the methods I call do not return an oauth verifier at all, making it impossible to proceed to the access token step. I'm just looking for some possibilities as to why this is the case.
Thanks.
import csv
import requests
import sys
import time
import webbrowser
from oauth_hook import OAuthHook
from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1Session
from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1
from urlparse import parse_qs
access_token_url = "https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth/v2/get_token"
request_token_url = "https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth/v2/get_request_token"
base_authorization_url = "https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth/v2/request_auth"
callback_URL = "auto-manager.com"
client_key = ".." #can't reveal actual client stuff here
client_secret = ".."
#get request token
oauth = OAuth1Session(client_key,client_secret=client_secret)
print oauth
fetch_response = oauth.fetch_request_token(request_token_url)
resource_owner_key = fetch_response.get('oauth_token')
resource_owner_secret = fetch_response.get('oauth_token_secret')
print fetch_response
print resource_owner_key
print resource_owner_secret
# get authorization, returns no verifier but returns a token for some reason, PROBLEM's here
authorization_url = oauth.authorization_url(base_authorization_url)
print 'please go here and authorize,', authorization_url
redirect_response = raw_input('Paste full redirect URL here: ')
oauth_response = oauth.parse_authorization_response(redirect_response)
print oauth_response
The main issue i've found with requets_oauthlib is that it doesn't let you kind of customize stuff such as headers and body content. I've tried to use it for Yahoo OAuth but i got stuck because of that. I turned to rauth, with which i managed to make things work. I even developed a special OAuth Lib for Yahoo which supports OAuth1 and OAuth2. The lib is named yahoo-oauth.
Hope it will help you out.
Have a good one
