How do I use OAuth tokens in Flask?

To use OAuth tokens in Flask, you can utilize the Flask-OAuthlib library. First, install it using pip.

What are the steps to implement it?

1. Install Flask-OAuthlib. 2. Set up your OAuth provider. 3. Create an OAuth application in your Flask app. 4. Use the provided decorators to protect your routes.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from flask import Flask, request
from flask_oauthlib.provider import OAuth2Provider

app = Flask(__name__)
oauth = OAuth2Provider(app)

@app.route('/oauth/token', methods=['POST'])
def token():
    return oauth.create_token_response()

What if I want to refresh the token?

You can implement a refresh token endpoint by creating a new route that checks the validity of the refresh token and issues a new access token.
