I am trying to evaluate the usage of oauth2client and oauth2 libraries on Python. We have already installed the former on our server for using some Google API.
Now I am trying to find out a way to use the same library to use external API too. I was trying to find an example to do so. However, as I read in most of the sources online, the oauth2client is predominantly for Google APIs.
The idea behind this trial is to see if we can do away with this requirement without installing oauth2 package on our server(s).
Any oauth2 and security experts may please guide me properly, as I could not find in the oauth2client documentation that this package is not supported for any external APIs using oauth for authentication.
https://oauth2client.readthedocs.io/en/latest/# This says..
oauth2clientmakes it easy to interact with OAuth2-protected resources, especially those related to Google APIs
I am running on Python and I have key, secret and the url on which I can go a GET to get the required API I need. Please advise.
