How should I create and pass user tokens?

I'm writing a web app (in flask) that has an API back end that the iOS app will communicate with. What is the best way to create, pass, and authenticate user tokens?

Solution

  • Look at flask-oauthprovider. It lets you secure views like this:

    @provider.require_oauth()
def view_profile():
    ...

    and handles token requests for you.
