Connection API
The Connection API is mainly used in the callback handler. The callback handler is a script that request the social network profile of a user that has logged in to your website through on of our services, like for example Social Login.
The callback handler script requests the social network profile of a user by sending a
<connection_token> to the Connection API.
The connection API returns the social network profile of the user and you can then use this
information to create a new account or tie the social network profile to an existing user.
Workflow Example:
- You have implemented our Social Login on your website
- One of your user logs in with his Facebook account through our Social Login Plugin,
- Our API returns you a
<connection_token>, - You use this
<connection_token>to get the user's Facebook profil from our API.
