python - Creating api tokens for third parties -

-

i'm working on application third parties interested in integrating us. create token each user , wondering efficient , common way in django? tried find one, , found looks promising:

https://github.com/jpulgarin/django-tokenapi

obviously out of box wont work, can implement similarly. above project uses sha hashing algorithm. safe use or md5 api tokens? appreciated!

when you're choosing api keys, 2 factors you're looking are

  1. infeasable guess. mean key must appear random , long brute force

  2. is unique. means no 2 users can accidentally same api key. can enforce database uniqueness constraints.

remember, if you're using 1 key, must enable ssl on of api endpoints. having keys stolen in transit bad, m'kay?

now, implementation, if you're using own custom views serve api, https://github.com/jpulgarin/django-tokenapi should work you.

if, you're using tasypie or similar, may want use built-in authorization code, including api-key management.

Does Firefox offer AppleScript support to get URL of windows? -

-
i trying write applescript that, among other things, gets url of every open webpage in firefox. in safari (and chrome), done simply: tell application "safari" return url of every tab in every window however, seems me firefox offers no real applescript support, such getting url of tab or window. when google terms "firefox" , "applescript" together, firefox bug requests asking applescript support restored, last updated in 2010 or 2011 (like this , this ). am right in thinking, then, firefox no longer offers proper applescript support? realize there semi-workarounds, such simulating key-commands in applescript, aren't practical purposes. to see of applescript commands firefox responds to, launch applescript editor, select menu file > open dictionary... , , choose firefox application. you'll find you're expecting: firefox doesn't offer useful applescript commands.
