How can I implement OAuth in a Flask RESTful API?

To implement OAuth in a Flask RESTful API, you can use the Flask-OAuthlib library. First, install it using pip.

What are the steps to set it up?

1. Install Flask-OAuthlib. 2. Create an OAuth application. 3. Define your API endpoints. 4. Use decorators to protect routes.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from flask import Flask
from flask_oauthlib.provider import OAuth2Provider

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

@app.route('/api/resource')
@oauth.require_oauth()
def get_resource():
    return {'data': 'This is protected data'}

What if I want to use a different OAuth provider?

You can customize the OAuth provider by implementing the necessary methods for token generation and validation based on the provider's API.
