[SOLVED] How to get Data from OAuth2 Providers?

[eternal heath]

After Github OAuth successful I wanted to retreive the Github userID, searched the web could not find much related to appwrite

Found this for Firebase
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49108767/github-oauth-provider-get-username-or-id

Does something like this exists for Appwrite also ?

How to get Data from OAuth2 Providers?

[eternal heath]

Alright thanks looking into it

[eternal heath]

Hey @fluid bane I tried looking into github docs and reading them for its API's but I cannot find a way to get the username using an OAuth app there , there is authentication using OAuth but I believe we do not want that ig and cannot find the right end point for it

could you please help

[fluid bane]

read the comment again

so...did you look in the Session object?

[eternal heath]

Yes I do understand that I get the OAuth access token from the session but where to make the request after getting the access token

[eternal heath]

not as of now gotta test it, trying to figure out which GitHub API end point would fetch me the users'ID with the access token provided by appwrite please do help me in this I am not able to figure the endpoint out

[eternal heath]

alright looking

yep the provider access token is there

would user id do the thing?

[fluid bane]

Did you read the docs describing the Session object? https://appwrite.io/docs/models/session

It's the Appwrite user ID. did you look at the data?

[eternal heath]

yes i just did I understand

so I have the provider access token now

and I want to get the github username using it

could you please guide me with the end point to which I would have to make the request to get it with the access token as the Authentication header

[fluid bane]

Also, did you take a look at the rest of the data in the session object?

[eternal heath]

yes

[fluid bane]

what's in providerUid?

[eternal heath]

it is the Uid of the provider

I gues

[fluid bane]

did you actually look at the value?

[eternal heath]

yes [email protected]"

I tried it out

in implementation initially i thought it might give me what i wanted but it returned a number

is it related to my github account ?

[fluid bane]

anyways, you'll have to look up how to use the github api

[eternal heath]

could this somehow fetch me my username

[fluid bane]

yes...

[eternal heath]

how

[fluid bane]

look up how to use the github api

[eternal heath]

https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/rest/users/users?apiVersion=2022-11-28#get-the-authenticated-user:~:text=about authenticated users.-,Get the authenticated user,-If the authenticated

found this I guess this might help and would pass the auth token as the access token

though the appwrite part is resolved thanks a lot

Hey @fluid bane made it work thanks a lot

its working and I am getting the desired data
