A Magento REST API example with rauth as OAuth provider. For Magento 1

from rauth.service import OAuth1Service

# Create consumer key & secret in your Magento Admin interface
# For an API Guideline see:
# http://www.magentocommerce.com/api/rest/authentication/oauth_authentication.html
#
# Short Magento setup explanation:
# 1. Magento Admin > System > Web Services > REST - OAuth Consumers:
#    Add a new consumer for this script [maybe the OAuth1Service(name='') value]
#    (This creates the consumer_key and consumer_secret token for you)
# 2. Possibly enable rewriting rules for the /api url in the Magento .htaccess
# 3. Magento Admin > System > Web Services > REST - Roles:
#    Give the Customer account some access to stuff (using the customer authorize_url below)
#    or create an Admin account for write access (using the admin authorize_url below)
#    Give the Guest account some access for some basic functionality testing without authorization.
# 4. Magento Admin > System > Web Services > REST - Attributes:
#    Configure ACL attributes access for the role/account configured in 3rd
# -  The customer must have a (frontend) account to login to and authorize the script.
# -  For any created Admin roles in 3rd, the role needs to be mapped to an admin user:
# 5. Magento Admin > System > Permissions > Users:
#    Edit an admin user and under 'REST Role', tick the created Admin REST Role to map it to that account.
#    This admin will get the authorize_url to authorize your script access in the browser.

Hey @madhurranjan,
I didn't get a notice about your comment. Sorry, I haven't been using rauth or requests_oauthlib in ages, so I'm not having a clue about your issue.
It usually helps to figure out what's actually on the wire. I tend to use wireshark for debugging what the client really sends (missing Authorization headers or other strangeness).

One thing magento1 did strange, was not use Authorization headers but put stuff in the request body, IIRC. So maybe requests_oauthlib doesn't know how to handle that (there was a reason I went with rauth back in that day, even though I had to submit some patches along the way.)

Hi,

Thank you for sharing good source. I have changed your source to create product like following.

headers = {'Accept': 'application/json',}

product = """{
"attribute_set_id":"4",
"type_id":"simple",
"sku":"wedding dress",
"name":"Dress_test",
"meta_title":"dress",
"meta_description":"a wedding dress",
"price":"2000.0000",
"weight":"0.5000",
"status":"1",
"visibility":"4",
"enable_googlecheckout":"1",
"tax_class_id":"1",
"description":"dress",
"meta_keyword":"dress, wedding"
}"""
payload = json.loads(product)

r = session.post(
'products',
header_auth=True,
headers=headers,

data=json.dumps(payload),

data = payload

)

see if we have errors

if r.status_code != 200:
print 'Error!'
print r.text
quit()
else:
# catch the returned Location redirect to the new product
article_url = ''#urljoin(MAGENTO_API_BASE, r.headers['location'])
print 'New product inserted as: %s' % (article_url)

But I have 400 Error.

Would you like to help me to resolve this issue?

Awesome, thanks for sharing

Hello I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "magento_cli.py", line 44, in <module> request_token, request_token_secret = magento.get_request_token(method='POST', params={'oauth_callback': 'oob'}) File "/home/antonio/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rauth/service.py", line 244, in get_request_token process_token_request(r, decoder, key_token, key_token_secret) File "/home/antonio/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rauth/service.py", line 20, in process_token_request data = decoder(r.content) File "/home/antonio/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rauth/utils.py", line 33, in parse_utf8_qsl v = v.decode('utf-8') File "/usr/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xe8 in position 597: invalid continuation byte
It seems that I have problem with the utf-8.

Hi guys, sorry I don't get notifies on gist comments, unless you @mention me.

Late comment: A 400 error probably meant the API wasn't enabled or credentials were wrong.

@blob84, your magento apparently returned some data that couldn't be decoded using utf-8.
I don't know why this happens, if the API is enabled I think that should happen.
Note this was built for the Magento 1 API.
