Hi,  
I’m trying to make Plotly OAuth work using the example given in [https://dash.plot.ly/authentication](https://dash.plot.ly/authentication)  
but no matter what I try I always get this error

File “/home/pedro/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dash\_auth/api\_requests.py”, line 43, in config  
value = plotly.tools.get\_config\_file().get(key)  
AttributeError: module ‘plotly.tools’ has no attribute ‘get\_config\_file’

By the way, the Basic Auth works just fine, as expected.

The snippet of code in question is

APP\_NAME = ‘XXXXXXXX’  
APP\_URL = ‘[https://xxxxxxxxx.herokuapps.com](https://xxxxxxxxx.herokuapps.com)’

auth = dash\_auth.PlotlyAuth(  
app,  
APP\_NAME,  
‘private’,  
APP\_URL  
)

I suspect that it has to do with the fact that some plotly features have moved to the chart-studio package, but I really don’t know how to correct this in the code.

Thanks.
