User level authentication

[rwa]

It looks like this client doesn't support "user level authentication" as described in the smashrun docs. Is that right?

Do you think it would be straightforward to add it? If so I'll take a shot. I am not familiar with OAuth but I think I can figure it out as I go.

Hi @rwa

I'd be happy to accept a pull request. Let me know if you have any questions.

The user-level authentication didn't exist when I first wrote this library.

Reading the docs, it does seem like it should be simple to add.

Hi @rwa and @campbellr

I looked a bit into user level authentication (implicit flow) and it seems that the current library is already compatible, so I don't think a code change is actually necessary. This is a small example (Python 3)

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
Example script for usage of Python Smashrun Client
"""

from smashrun import Smashrun
from oauthlib.oauth2 import MobileApplicationClient

mobile = MobileApplicationClient('client') # implicit flow

# Set token for repeated usage, skipping implicit authentication flow
token = None

if not token:
    client = Smashrun(client_id='client',client=mobile,client_secret='my_secret',redirect_uri='https://httpbin.org/get')
    auth_url = client.get_auth_url()
    token = input("Go to '%s' and authorize this application. Copy the access_token from the browser address bar and paste here: " % auth_url[0])

client = Smashrun(client_id='client',client=mobile,token={'access_token':token,'token_type':'Bearer'})
print(client.get_current_weight())

I would be happy to add a MWE to the README of my current PR #14.

Let me know!

Cool. Yes that sounds very useful.
