2. Add the client_id and client_secret to config.json

3. Start the server:

Example App URLs

Check if the user is a member of an organization:

Check if the user belongs to a certain team:

http://localhost:5000/teams/<team_id>

API Requests

After authenticating, this extension also provides methods for doing GET requests to the Github API as the authenticated user.

github = GithubAuth(
	client_id='123456789',
	client_secret='987654321',
	session_key='user_id'
)

# returns the authenticated user
github.get_github_user()

# returns true if the authenticated user is a member of the organization
github.has_org_access('mindsnacks')

• session_key -- Key for the value stored in the session to determine if a user is logged in
• client_id -- Given by Github when creating an application
