Weixin API uses the OAuth2 protocol for authentication, but not all functionality requires authentication. See the docs for more information: https://open.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/showdocument?action=dir_list&t=resource/res_list&verify=1&lang=zh_CN

(TODO)The provided sample app shows a simple OAuth flow for authenticating a user and getting an access token for them.

Once you have an access token (whether via the script or from the user flow), you can pass that token into the WeixinAPI constructor:

from weixin.client import WeixinAPI

scope = ("snsapi_login", )
api = WeixinAPI(appid=APP_ID,
                app_secret=APP_SECRET,
                redirect_uri=REDIRECT_URI)
authorize_url = api.get_authorize_url(scope=scope)

access_token = api.exchange_code_for_access_token(code=code)

api = WeixinAPI(access_token=access_token)

user = api.user(openid="openid")
