# Weibo OAuth ## 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 | |----------------|------------------------------------------| | `weibo` | `social_core.backends.weibo.WeiboOAuth2` | Weibo OAuth 2.0 workflow. - Register a new application at [Weibo](http://open.weibo.com). - Fill `Consumer Key` and `Consumer Secret` values in the settings: ```default SOCIAL_AUTH_WEIBO_KEY = '' SOCIAL_AUTH_WEIBO_SECRET = '' ``` By default `account id`, `profile_image_url` and `gender` are stored in extra_data field. The user name is used by default to build the user instance `username`, sometimes this contains non-ASCII characters which might not be desirable for the website. To avoid this issue it’s possible to use the Weibo `domain` which will be inside the ASCII range by defining this setting: ```default SOCIAL_AUTH_WEIBO_DOMAIN_AS_USERNAME = True ```
