requests-iap

Auth class for requests used to authenticate HTTP requests to OIDC-authenticated resources (Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy) using a Google service account. In addition, it transparently caches the OIDC token returned by google in-memory of the program.

Installation

$ pip install requests-iap

Usage

import requests
from requests_iap import IAPAuth

# https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/serviceaccounts (Actions -> Create key -> JSON)
with open("google-serviceaccount-creds.json") as f:
    service_account_secret_dict = json.load(f)

# https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials (pick client ID of the application you are connecting to)
client_id = "1337-very-long-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com"

resp = requests.get(
    "https://service.behind.iap.example.com",
    auth=IAPAuth(
        client_id=client_id,
        service_account_secret_dict=service_account_secret_dict,
    ),
)

Caching

IAPAuth transparently caches the OIDC token from Google for jwt_soft_expiration seconds (by default 1800 => 30min). From Google, it requests token for roughly 60 minutes, so the token should keep working for 30min in case Google OAuth2 API would be down.

resp = requests.get(
    "https://service.behind.iap.example.com",
    auth=IAPAuth(
        client_id=client_id,
        service_account_secret_dict=service_account_secret_dict,
        jwt_soft_expiration=600, # try to refresh token every 600 seconds, just to be super safe
    ),
)

Testing

To run all tests:

tox

Note that tox doesn't know when you change the requirements.txt and won't automatically install new dependencies for test runs. Run pip install tox-battery to install a plugin which fixes this silliness.
