## Backend class

For Django, add this class path to `AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS`. For other
integrations, use the same class path in the framework-specific backend
setting.

| Backend name   | Class path                                   |
|----------------|----------------------------------------------|
| `patreon`      | `social_core.backends.patreon.PatreonOAuth2` |

Patreon supports OAuth 2.0

1. Register a new application at [Patreon Developer Portal](https://www.patreon.com/portal/registration/register-clients).
2. Use the `social.backends.patreon.PatreonOAuth2`, either by adding it to
   your `SOCIAL_AUTH_AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS` or instantiating it directly.
3. Fill in the the `Client ID` and `Client Secret`:
   ```default
   SOCIAL_AUTH_PATREON_KEY = '<your client ID>'
   SOCIAL_AUTH_PATREON_SECRET = '<your client secret>'
   ```
4. Checkout the [Patreon API Docs](https://docs.patreon.com/) for more information.
