Question: OAuth but not for a user? #59

Closed ssssteve closed 9 years ago

ssssteve commented 9 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to implement OAuth2 for a google account so we can access Google Analytics. My problem is that it's a single company-wide google account, so we'll be trying to log in with OAuth after a user has logged in to the Laravel 5 app itself, and therefore AIUI we need to keep the OAuth user out of Auth. Is this possible?

Many thanks.

Hey Steve! This package is really just meant to handle authentication with different OAuth providers in a unified way. If you need more complex integration with a provider (like Google in your case) and need to make specific API calls, your best bet is to use a package like this one: https://github.com/google/google-api-php-client

OK, thanks very much, I thought that this might be the only way, but thought I'd try existing packages first.
