endpoints_auth

A basic way to provide authentication/authorization for Google Cloud Endpoints apps using webapp2

Prerequisites

endpoints_auth was intended for Google Cloud Endpointsapps built using webapp2 as the authentication framework. This project lets your app authenticate Endpoints requests and reject requests not made by your application's users.

Usage

Use the auth_required function as a decorator for any of your Endpoints method like so:

import endpoints_auth

...

  @endpoints.method(RequestMessage, ResponseMessage, path='path/to/endpoint', http_method='POST', name='my_method_name')
  @endpoints_auth.auth_required()
  def foo(self, request):
      # Define function here

The client will need to make a request to your Endpoints API with the webapp2 user ID and token in the User-Id and Token headers, respectively.
