Python/Flask with ORDS Authentication
The following example shows Python/Flask code to get the authentication token and accessing the ORDS API by passing the token as part of the GET REQUEST. The two main steps involved in this are
- Obtain Access Token
- GET ORDS data
Use your client ID and client secret to obtain an auth token.
You will add the auth token to the header of each ORDS API request.
# Values that you need to provideclient_id = "<your client id>"client_secret = "<your client secret>
from flask import Flask, render_template, redirect, request, session
import requests

if id_token is None:

# POST call with AUTH and DATA to get ORDS token
auth_response = requests.post(fullstack_auth_url, auth=(client_id,client_secret),data=data)
