To add OAuth2 authentication to a FastAPI application, you can integrate Scalekit OIDC to handle login flows, token management, and protected routes. This provides environment configuration and dependency injection for secure user authentication across your endpoints.

FastAPI handles token refresh and session management with OpenID Connect using a scalable middleware flow. This approach manages token exchange and user sessions automatically, ensuring authorization checks remain valid across protected routes without manual token handling.

Yes, you can protect specific FastAPI routes with role-based authorization using Scalekit. The integration supports permission checks and role-based route protection across endpoints, ensuring only authorized users access secured resources.

The best way to configure environment variables for FastAPI OAuth integration involves setting up specific environment configurations provided by the Scalekit client wrapper. This setup securely manages credentials and enables seamless login and logout flows within your application.

To implement user login and logout flows in FastAPI with OAuth2, navigate to the /login endpoint to begin Scalekit authentication. The integration manages token exchange and session handling, providing a robust authentication cycle for users.
