# SuccessFactors + Python
Authenticate with and use the SAP SuccessFactors API with Python.
## Authentcation
### How to use
1. Create an OAuth application in SuccessFactors.
2. Download the private key and copy the Client ID.
3. Clone this repo and copy `sf_auth.py` and `sf_saml_template.xml` into your Python project directory.
4. Import `sf_auth` into your project.
5. Install all the requirements listed in `requirements.txt` in this repo.
6. Call the `sf_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
import requests
import sf_auth
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'
token = sf_auth.auth(sf_url, sf_company_id, sf_oauth_client_id, sf_admin_user, sf_saml_private_key, sf_saml_template)
headers = {
"Accept: application/json",
f"Authorization: {token}"
}
request = requests.get(f"{sf_url}/User", headers=headers)
print(request.json())
```
