Show HN: Python Library for Kickstarter API

  Wait, why are you using your own Auth Key and asking the user to provide email/password?

    Where are you referring? The oauth token is retrieved post successful login. It is used for the parts of the API that require an authenticated user. The API_KEY is generic and used for the non-authenticated parts.

      `API_KEY = "client_id=2II5GGBZLOOZAA5XBU1U0Y44BU57Q58L8KOGM7H0E0YFHP3KTG"` It's better practive for the user to supply their own API_KEY.

        I completely agree. However, there doesn't seem to be a method for requesting an API key from Kickstarter (as far as I'm aware). I actually got this key from another guy who was reverse engineering the iOS Kickstarter application.
