There is a new feature in trunk. Support for native API tokens. To enable in models/db.py use:
auth.define_tables(username=False, signature=False, api_tokens=True) Then where appropriate replace @auth.requires_login() def test(): return 'hello %s' % auth.user.first_name with @auth.requires_login_or_token() def test(): return 'hello %s' % auth.user.first_name Now your users can go to http://..../welcome/default/user/manage_tokens create and expire tokens and call the decorated functions with http://..../welcome/default/test?_token=<one-of-the-tokens> The token will give access to the function (test in the example) as if the user were logged in. This will make it easier for you to create API for your app and delegate to your users the job of creating and expiring their tokens. This is an EXPERIMENTAL feature. It works but it may change. Please test, and submit comments/suggestions.
