Plug in django-allauth as endpoint in django-rest-framework

Question

I'm using django-allauth on my website for social logins. I also have a REST API powered by django-rest-framework that serves as the backend of a mobile app. Is there a way I can directly plug in allauth's authentication backend to the REST api so that I can validate (and register) users who use Facebook login in the mobile app?

To clarify: The Facebook login part is handled by native SDKs. I need an endpoint that works like POST /user (that is, creates a new user), but takes Facebook oauth token as input instead of email/password etc.

Answer 1

You can use Django Rest Auth for this which depends on django-allauth. It's very easy to integrate.

Answer 2

You can use this libray for social authentication django-rest-framework-social-oauth2. Try this django-allauth related code

urls.py

urlpatterns = [     url(         r'^rest/facebook-login/$',         csrf_exempt(RestFacebookLogin.as_view()),         name='rest-facebook-login'     ), ] 

serializers.py

class EverybodyCanAuthentication(SessionAuthentication):     def authenticate(self, request):         return None 

views.py

class RestFacebookLogin(APIView):     """     Login or register a user based on an authentication token coming     from Facebook.     Returns user data including session id.     """      # this is a public api!!!     permission_classes = (AllowAny,)     authentication_classes = (EverybodyCanAuthentication,)      def dispatch(self, *args, **kwargs):         return super(RestFacebookLogin, self).dispatch(*args, **kwargs)      def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):         try:             original_request = request._request             auth_token = request.GET.get('auth_token', '')              # Find the token matching the passed Auth token             app = SocialApp.objects.get(provider='facebook')             fb_auth_token = SocialToken(app=app, token=auth_token)              # check token against facebook             login = fb_complete_login(original_request, app, fb_auth_token)             login.token = fb_auth_token             login.state = SocialLogin.state_from_request(original_request)              # add or update the user into users table             complete_social_login(original_request, login)             # Create or fetch the session id for this user             token, _ = Token.objects.get_or_create(user=original_request.user)             # if we get here we've succeeded             data = {                 'username': original_request.user.username,                 'objectId': original_request.user.pk,                 'firstName': original_request.user.first_name,                 'lastName': original_request.user.last_name,                 'sessionToken': token.key,                 'email': original_request.user.email,             }             return Response(                 status=200,                 data=data             )          except:             return Response(status=401, data={                 'detail': 'Bad Access Token',             })
