pymonzo-auth

Authenticating using PyMonzo to create a token

Setting up Monzo API Access

• Go to https://developers.monzo.com and sign in
• Click on 'Clients' in the bar at the top
• Create a 'New OAuth Client'
• Set 'Redirection URLs' to be http://127.0.0.1:8080/monzo/auth. The other settings can be whatever you want them to be.
• Add the client secret and client id to the api_info.conf file

How to use

• Run authenticate.py.
• Open the link it generates in your web browser
• Authenticate through the website and go to your emails to get the link
• Click the link in your email and authenticate.py authenticate to the Monzo API and exit cleanly.

You should now have setup pymonzo with a token ready to continue your development!

api_info.conf

The api_info.conf file just stores the secret and id that are required to access the API. There is api_info.conf.example which you can use as a guide to create this file.

Tested

Tested on Windows 10, and macOS sierra using Python 2.7. I have tested this against version pymonzo 0.10.0
