Getting Started

There is now a very simple web.py application that can successfully authenticate users using the API in Python. These instructions will get you up and running if you know Python already. All of the API code is included so you can freely look around and play with it.

Step 1: Acquire Gear

You will need to have the following Python setup:

  1. Python 2.6 or 2.7 (not 3, not 2.5).
  2. pip install web.py

Next, download the Python DevKit:

Untar that somewhere and check it out real quick. You'll see there's not much code to the demo. Most of the javascript is downloaded from http://autho.me and it's not minified yet so you can review it.

Step 2: Register

You need to register a customer account and then you can login to your Dev tools.

Step 3: Configure

Once you are logged in you can grab the config for the passkey you've been given. Click the link (config) next to your passkey and copy-paste the javascript config you see.

Once you've got the config, go to the authome-python-0.2 directory and create a file in config/testing.js with this as the contents.

Step 4: Play

The API should now be configured to use your testing passkey, so just start the application up: 

                python webapp.py

Then go to http://localhost:8080 to play with it. There's only two links, so hopefully you can figure out what to do next.

Also compare the static/js/app.js to the static/js/mini_app.js to see what kind of events are possible and to get a better user experience with more interaction while the auth is calculated.

Can I Report A Bug?

Definitely. Just go to the support system and submit a new ticket. You can also check out the development progress and see what tickets are currently open.
