OAuth2 via Python SDK and Django
Hi again,
So I'm trying to implement the non-pkce authorization via the Python SDK using DropboxOAuth2Flow with redirects.
View 1 creates the initial auth_flow object.

Dropbox Community ModeratorI can't offer help for Django in particular, as that's made by Dropbox, but I'll be happy to offer whatever guidance I can in general.
First, I'll send this along as a feature request to make DropboxOAuth2Flow serializable though I can't promise if or when that might be implemented.
Anyway, you generally shouldn't need to serialize it though; you can just recreate it when needed. For instance, here's an example (albeit written for Flask, and for an older version of the Dropbox SDK, but the idea is the same) showing how the flow is recreated via the "get_flow" method, which is re-used in both steps.
Hi Greg-DB!
Thanks again for your reply - it works perfectly now without any pickling or weird dictionary.
For anyone out there I'd like to share my code to help you out if need be:
@login_required
def dropbox_authorization(request):
auth_flow = dropbox.DropboxOAuth2Flow(
_APP_KEY,
_REDIRECT_URI,
request.session,
'dropbox-auth-csrf-token',
_APP_SECRET,
_LOCALE,
'offline',
use_pkce=False)
return HttpResponseRedirect(auth_flow.start())
@login_required
def dropbox_authorization_success(request):
def _get_flow(request):
return dropbox.DropboxOAuth2Flow(
_APP_KEY,
_REDIRECT_URI,
request.session,
'dropbox-auth-csrf-token',
_APP_SECRET,
_LOCALE)
result = _get_flow(request).finish(request.GET)
request.user.dp_refresh_token = result.refresh_token
request.user.save()
request.session['access_token'], request.session['expires_at'] = result.access_token, result.expires_at.isoformat()
return #to the view of your liking
Hope this helps!
