Is there a way to check if AuthenticatedClient() worked? #290

What do you mean by "worked"?

How do I know if AuthenticatedClient() failed to authenticate?

mcardillo55 commented 6 years ago

From my quick tests, if authentication is unsuccessful, the method will return the JSON: {u'message': u'invalid signature'}

It looks like #260 will improve this error handling, by raising HTTPStatus exceptions.

Thanks! I agree, throwing raising an error would be ideal.

I'll use the technique you provided until that issue is closed.
