Native App Examples

Simple code examples for building Native Apps using Globus Auth.

Overview

All examples use the Globus Python SDK and the Native App Authorization Flow.

example_copy_paste.py -- get an access token for Transfer and do an ls on an endpoint.
example_copy_paste_refresh_token.py -- get a refresh token for Transfer and do an ls on an endpoint and automatically retrieve a new access token when necessary.
example_local_server.py -- demonstrate how an app could use a local web server to automatically receive the "auth code."
