Question

I have started using https://github.com/omab/django-social-auth and been successfully able to login via twitter, google and facebook.

Needed

I need to query about the logged in user in order to do more things, which Model I shall be using for that?

I don’t see any examples for that

Thank you

Update

@Omab, I did not understand how this would work, can you please help. When I login with twitter, the callback goes to following code

@login_required
def done(request):
    """Login complete view, displays user data"""
    ctx = {
        'version': version,
        'last_login': request.session.get('social_auth_last_login_backend')
    }
    logging.warn('context - ' + str(ctx))
    logging.warn('request - ' + str(request))
    return render_to_response('home.html', ctx, RequestContext(request))

Can you tell me how can I access to user instance here?

Thank you

Answer 1

The app stores the social account details using the UserSocialAuth model, to retrieve any instance just do:

user.social_auth.filter(provider="...")

Where:

• user is a User instance (request.user for current logged in user)
• provider is a string with the provider name (facebook, twitter, etc)

The UserSocialAuth instance stores the needed tokens to call the needed API:

print user_social_auth.tokens
{...}
