Auth Api Key

Beta License: LGPL-3 OCA/server-auth Translate me on Weblate Try me on Runboat

Authenticate http requests from an API key.

API keys are codes passed in (in the http header API-KEY) by programs calling an API in order to identify -in this case- the calling program’s user.

Take care while using this kind of mechanism since information into http headers are visible in clear. Thus, use it only to authenticate requests from known sources.

For unknown sources, it is a good practice to filter out this header at proxy level.

Configuration

The api key menu is available into Settings > Technical in debug mode. By default, when you create an API key, the key is saved into the database.

If you want to manage them via serve environment settings use auth_api_key_server_env.

Usage

To apply this authentication system to your http request you must set ‘api_key’ as value for the ‘auth’ parameter of your route definition into your controller.

class MyController(Controller):

    @route('/my_service', auth='api_key', ...)
    def my_service(self, *args, **kwargs):
        pass
