Installation

$ pip install -U httpie-jwt-auth

Usage

$ http --auth-type=jwt --auth="<token>" example.org -h

GET / HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Authorization: Token_Prefix abc
Connection: keep-alive
Host: example.org
User-Agent: HTTPie/0.9.7

Sometimes you don’t need to expose the JWT token on the command line, you can use the environment variable:

$ export JWT_AUTH_TOKEN=secret

And it should work:

$ http teracy.com --auth-type=jwt -v

GET / HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Authorization: Bearer secret
Connection: keep-alive
Host: teracy.com
User-Agent: HTTPie/0.9.7
