Example usage

This assumes that:

  1. You have created the integration on digidir.no and,
  2. You have set the necessary environment variables for your API credentials.
# set environment variables for your API    
import os
os.environ["KID"] = "your_kid"
os.environ["PRIVATE_KEY"] = "your_private_key"
os.environ["MASKINPORTEN_CLIENT_ID"] = "your_client_id"
os.environ["SCOPE"] = "your_scope"

# get the access token
from pymaskinporten.request_token import request_maskinporten_token
access_token, expires_in = request_maskinporten_token("my_api", "test")
print(f"Access Token: {access_token}")
print(f"Expires In: {expires_in} seconds")

Docker container

If you want to test the library through a web browser the image opens a flask app:

cat > .env <<EOF
>PRIVATE_KEY="-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n"
>MASKINPORTEN_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id"
>KID="your-kid"
>SCOPE="your-scope"
>STRICT_KEY_VALIDATION=false
>EOF
