Accessing PostgREST API using Python Requests and Requests-JWT

The following HTTP client example should work on Python 3.x. If you're using python < 3.x you may need to change the print functions to statements or use:

from __future__ import print_function

This code relies on setting up the PostgreSQL auth functions and grants correctly first. Follow these instructions:

After completing the configuration, be sure to create a user with email, password, role, and verified flag. We'll use that user to login in the code below.

Install the required libraries

pip install requests
pip install Requests-jwt

Then, from a python interpreter or script:

import requests
import requests_jwt
import json

# email and password auth through postgrest
resp = requests.post('http://localhost:3000/rpc/login', json={"email": "you@yours.com", "pass": "dog"})
if resp.status_code != 200:
    raise Exception()

# JWT auth using the token above
token = json.loads(resp.text)['token']
auth = requests_jwt.JWTAuth(token)
r = requests.get('http://localhost:3000/weight', auth=auth)
if r.status_code != 200:
    raise Exception()
    
for each in r.json():
    print(each)
