itsdangerous
============
... so better sign this
Various helpers to pass data to untrusted environments and to get it
back safe and sound. Data is cryptographically signed to ensure that a
token has not been tampered with.
It's possible to customize how data is serialized. Data is compressed as
needed. A timestamp can be added and verified automatically while
loading a token.
Installing
----------
Install and update using `pip`_:
.. code-block:: text
pip install -U itsdangerous
.. _pip: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/quickstart/
A Simple Example
----------------
Here's how you could generate a token for transmitting a user's id and
name between web requests.
.. code-block:: python
from itsdangerous import URLSafeSerializer
auth_s = URLSafeSerializer("secret key", "auth")
token = auth_s.dumps({"id": 5, "name": "itsdangerous"})
print(token)
# eyJpZCI6NSwibmFtZSI6Iml0c2Rhbmdlcm91cyJ9.6YP6T0BaO67XP--9UzTrmurXSmg
data = auth_s.loads(token)
print(data["name"])
# itsdangerous
