Login

See the Lens Protocol docs for Login.

There are multiple methods regarding logging in to be authenticated as the owner of a profile. Lens profiles are associated with an Ethereum address. The first of the methods below, login, is meant for use with PyScript or local testing only (since it takes a users private address as a parameter so cannot be deployed to a python server and used with real accounts).

login(public_address, private_address)

Log in to Lens Protocol with the key pair supplied. This is a LensPy method that simplifies getting started with Lens Protocol. It implements Challenge and Authenticate in a single method. If successful, the user is authenticated and can make mutations that can write to the blockchain (as opposed to only queries that read).

Note: unless using some client side python like PyScript, do not use in production as it could expose users private addresses.

challenge(address)

Requests a challenge for authentification of the address from Lens. Returns typed data, which once signed can be used with the authenticate method below.

authenticate(address, signature)

Takes a public address and a signature (signed from the typed data of challenge response) and responds with an accessToken that authenticates the GraphQL client (this happens within LensPy so you do not need to think about this).
