Influencer Social Handles need Verification before allowing to signUp

[Kajol-Kumari]

Description

Currently, there is no way to verify if the social profile influencer has given belongs to him/her.

Expectation

• [ ] There should be a way to verify that the particular social account claimed by the influencer belong to him/her only.
• [ ] Influencers shouldn't be allowed to signup unless they verify their mentioned social profile.

check for https://www.passportjs.org/docs/ if we can leverage this for verifcation

@Asymtode712 hey any doubts with this ?

[Asymtode712]

@RohitGupta1237 I am working on it, because of the intern work it's taking some time......btw I am trying to use OAuth for solving this issue

[RohitGupta1237]

@Asymtode712 oh okay no issues , still if u could wrap it at a pace pls.

[Asymtode712]

@RohitGupta1237 Hey, I have made the socials verification javascipt file but the thing is we would have to generate API tokens for all the 4 platforms ( Insta, FB, Twitter and Yt) so it would require inputs from your side too....Well I can also test these using JEST but it would take some time

[RohitGupta1237]

@Asymtode712 hey can we connect for a meet ?5 mins

[Asymtode712]

@RohitGupta1237 Can we do it tomorrow morning please??

[RohitGupta1237]

@Asymtode712 oh okay ....what inputs u need from me on this issue

[Asymtode712]

Basically we would need to create API tokens on the developer sites of FB & Twitter and Google Cloud Console for YT for obtaining permissions for authentication we can discuss this tomorrow in the meantime you can look out about these API token generation so as to get a rough idea and really sorry if I am taking more time to solve this

Thank you!

[RohitGupta1237]

@Asymtode712 oh okay no issues

[RohitGupta1237]

@Asymtode712 hey any doubts u want to discuss/?

[RohitGupta1237]

@Asymtode712 hey how much expected time it gonna take -/...

[RohitGupta1237]

@Asymtode712 hey any updates on this?

[RohitGupta1237]

@Asymtode712 hey are u working on it still?

[RohitGupta1237]

@Asymtode712 hey still working on it ?

[Asymtode712]

@RohitGupta1237 Yes I think I must try some other way for achieving this feat.....

I thought it is achievable through OAuth but it is taking too much efforts and time

[Asymtode712]

@RohitGupta1237 Just give me one more day....If I am unable to do it then Unassign me

[RohitGupta1237]

@Asymtode712 ofc no issues with that .... are u clear with the problem in this when user enters any social media handles we need to verify whether that handle belongs to that user or not for for example i am registering on portal and i entered someones else instagram handle then to verify whether this handles is mine or not …its possible that the handle he entered is legit handle and its exists too but he is not entering someone else handle in that is what we do in this verification like he shoudl be having proper login credentials for that handle he entered only then it will be believed that he entered his own handle

[Asymtode712]

@RohitGupta1237 Yes clear with this....onto it

[RohitGupta1237]

@Asymtode712 great

[RohitGupta1237]

@Asymtode712

this is where user will enter its social media handles then click on verify

[RohitGupta1237]
