Clinic portal

The clinic portal returns today's appointments on GET /appointments. Anonymous callers are rejected.

Clone starters/django. SDK reference: Django.

require_auth is the identity gate. A signed-in session is not a permission grant. Apply authorization after the gate.

What you need

Requirement Detail
Public key pk_... from the console
Environment Copy .env.example to .env and export PK_AUTHDOG
Secret key Never put sk_... in the service
Package Django extra is source in authdog/web-sdk packages/python. It is not the authdog package on PyPI. Python 3.10+
Request Hosted sign-in stays in a browser. Call /appointments with the authdog-session cookie or Authorization: Bearer

Run

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
export PK_AUTHDOG=pk_...
python manage.py runserver 3000

With a valid session the body includes apt_441 (Riverside, 09:10, new referral) and apt_442 (Riverside, 10:40, follow-up).

Appointments

Register the middleware, then decorate the private view.

# clinic/settings.py
MIDDLEWARE = [
    "django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware",
    "django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware",
    "clinic.auth.authdog.middleware",
]
# clinic/auth.py
import os

from authdog.django import Authdog

authdog = Authdog(public_key=os.environ["PK_AUTHDOG"])
# clinic/views.py
from django.http import JsonResponse

from clinic.auth import authdog

@authdog.require_auth
def appointments(request):
    return JsonResponse(
        {
            "caller": authdog.session(request).user,
            "appointments": [
                {"id": "apt_441", "clinic": "Riverside", "slot": "09:10", "reason": "New referral"},
                {"id": "apt_442", "clinic": "Riverside", "slot": "10:40", "reason": "Follow-up"},
            ],
        }
    )

fetch_user=False leaves is_authenticated false, so the decorator rejects.
