3. Install the Python module:

```
4. Import `successfactors_auth` into your Python >=3.9 project.
5. Call the `successfactors_auth.auth()` function in your Python project. You'll need to pass the following parameters:
- `sf_url`: Base API url of your SuccessFactors instance, e.g. "https://api55.sapsf.eu".
- `sf_company_id`: SuccessFactors company ID.
- `sf_oauth_client_id`: The Client ID for the OAuth application you created earlier.
- `sf_admin_user`: An admin user in SuccessFactors that has access to the OAuth application.
- `sf_saml_private_key`: Path to the private key file you downloaded when you created the OAuth application.
- `template_file`: Path to the template file from this repo.
Example:
``` python
#!/usr/bin/env python
### Example
import requests
import sf_auth
``` python
#!/usr/bin/env python
sf_url = 'https://your.base.url.com'
sf_company_id = 'your-company-id'
sf_oauth_client_id = 'OAUTH-CLIENT-ID'
sf_admin_user = 'your_admin_user'
sf_saml_private_key = 'your_app_private_key.pem'
template_file = 'sf_saml_template.xml'
import requests
import successfactors_auth
token = sf_auth.auth(sf_url, sf_company_id, sf_oauth_client_id, sf_admin_user, sf_saml_private_key, sf_saml_template)
sf_url = 'https://your.base.url.com'
sf_company_id = 'your-company-id'
sf_oauth_client_id = 'your_app_client_id'
sf_admin_user = 'your_admin_user'
sf_saml_private_key = 'your_app_private_key.pem'
headers = {
"Accept: application/json",
f"Authorization: {token}"
}
token = successfactors_auth.auth(
sf_url,
sf_company_id,
sf_oauth_client_id,
sf_admin_user,
sf_saml_private_key,
sf_saml_template
)
request = requests.get(f"{sf_url}/User", headers=headers)
headers = {
"Accept: application/json",
f"Authorization: {token}"
}
print(request.json())
```
request = requests.get(f"{sf_url}/User", headers=headers)
user = request.json()
### Using as an AWS Lambda function w/ API Gateway
print(user)
```
Coming soon...
## Background
I wrote this module because I was forced to deal with the *horrific* SAP SuccessFactors API at my job, and I wanted to make sure other devs/sysadmins wouldn't have to feel the pain that I felt.
Once you get authenticated, getting the information you want is a whole new level of suffering. I hope to publish some more examples in the form of a blog post or docs in this repo.
