# Introduction Python Social Auth aims to be an easy to setup social authentication and authorization mechanism for Python projects supporting protocols like [OAuth](http://oauth.net/) (1 and 2), [OpenID](http://openid.net/) and others. ## Features This application provides user registration and login using social sites credentials, here are some features, probably not a full list yet. ### Supported frameworks Multiple frameworks support: * [Django](https://github.com/python-social-auth/social-app-django) * [Flask](https://github.com/python-social-auth/social-app-flask) * [Pyramid](http://www.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/about) * [Webpy](https://github.com/python-social-auth/social-app-webpy) * [Tornado](http://www.tornadoweb.org/) More frameworks can be added easily (and should be even easier in the future once the code matures). ### Auth providers Several supported service by simple backends definition (easy to add new ones or extend current one): * [Angel](https://angel.co) OAuth2 * [Behance](https://www.behance.net) OAuth2 * [Bitbucket](https://bitbucket.org) OAuth1 * [Box](https://www.box.com) OAuth2 * [Dailymotion](https://dailymotion.com) OAuth2 * [Deezer](https://www.deezer.com) OAuth2 * [Disqus](https://disqus.com) OAuth2 * [Douban](http://www.douban.com) OAuth2 * [Dropbox](https://dropbox.com) OAuth2 * [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com) OAuth2 * [Evernote](https://www.evernote.com) OAuth1 * [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com) OAuth2 and OAuth2 for Applications * [Fitbit](https://fitbit.com) OAuth2 and OAuth1 * [Flat](https://flat.io) OAuth2 * [Flickr](http://www.flickr.com) OAuth1 * [Foursquare](https://foursquare.com) OAuth2 * [GitHub](https://github.com) OAuth2 * [Google](http://google.com) OAuth1 and OAuth2 * [Instagram](https://instagram.com) OAuth2 * [Kakao](https://kakao.com) OAuth2 * [Keycloak](https://www.keycloak.org) OpenID * [Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com) OAuth1 * [Live](https://www.live.com) OAuth2 * [Livejournal](http://livejournal.com) OpenID * [Mailru](https://mail.ru) OAuth2 * [MineID](https://www.mineid.org) OAuth2 * [Mixcloud](https://www.mixcloud.com) OAuth2 * [NGPVAN ActionID](http://developers.ngpvan.com/action-id) OpenID * [Odnoklassniki](http://www.odnoklassniki.ru) OAuth2 and Application Auth * [OpenID](http://openid.net/) * [Podio](https://podio.com) OAuth2 * [Pinterest](https://www.pinterest.com) OAuth2 * [Shopify](http://shopify.com) OAuth2 * [Skyrock](https://skyrock.com) OAuth1 * [Soundcloud](https://soundcloud.com) OAuth2 * [Spotify](https://www.spotify.com) OAuth2 * [Stackoverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/) OAuth2 * [Steam](http://steamcommunity.com/) OpenID * [Stocktwits](https://stocktwits.com) OAuth2 * [Stripe](https://stripe.com) OAuth2 * [Tripit](https://www.tripit.com) OAuth1 * [Tumblr](http://www.tumblr.com/) OAuth1 * [Twilio](https://www.twilio.com) Connect association * [Twitch](http://www.twitch.tv/) OAuth2 * [Twitter](http://twitter.com) OAuth1 * [Upwork](https://www.upwork.com) OAuth1 * [Vimeo](https://vimeo.com/) OAuth1 * [VK.com](http://vk.com) OpenAPI, OAuth2 and OAuth2 for Applications * [Weibo](http://weibo.com) OAuth2 * [Xing](https://www.xing.com) OAuth1 * [Yahoo](http://yahoo.com) OAuth2 * [Yammer](https://www.yammer.com) OAuth2 * [Yandex](https://yandex.ru) OAuth1, OAuth2 and OpenID ### User data Basic user data population, to allow custom fields values from providers response. ### Social accounts association Multiple social accounts can be associated to a single user. ### Authentication and disconnection processing Extensible pipeline to handle authentication, association and disconnection mechanism in ways that suits your project.
