## 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                                         |
|----------------|----------------------------------------------------|
| `stocktwits`   | `social_core.backends.stocktwits.StocktwitsOAuth2` |

StockTwits uses OAuth 2 for authentication.
