FusionAuth Python Flask Example

This example demonstrates how to integrate FusionAuth with a Python Flask application using OAuth 2.0. It includes features such as login, displaying user profile information, and logout functionality.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• FusionAuth installed and configured (either on your local machine or using the cloud version)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/rainleander/fusionauth-python-flask-example.git
cd fusionauth-python-flask-example

2. Install the required Python libraries:

pip install flask requests

3. Configure your FusionAuth credentials:

Open app.py and replace the following placeholders with the appropriate values from your FusionAuth instance:

• 'your_client_id'
• 'your_client_secret'
• 'https://your_fusionauth_url'

Make sure to replace 'your_secret_key' with a secure secret key for Flask.

4. Run the application:

python app.py

5. Test the application:

Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:5000. You should see a "Login with FusionAuth" link. Click on it to log in or register a new user. After successful authentication, you should be redirected to the profile page displaying the user's information.

Features

• Login with FusionAuth using OAuth 2.0
• Display user profile information
• Logout functionality
