Hybridauth 3.0 Remake – social logins made easy

“Hybridauth enables developers to easily build social applications and tools to engage websites visitors and customers on a social level by implementing social sign-in, social sharing, users profiles, friends list, activities stream, status updates and more.

The main goal of Hybridauth is to act as an abstract API between your application and various social apis and identities providers such as Facebook, Twitter and Google.”

Hybridauth 2.x was the best option for nicely aggregated social logins so far, but some of the social “Providers” are outdated or no longer working. Version 3.0 is still in development, but providing a complete rewrite.

  require 'vendor/autoload.php';

 
    $config = [

        'callback' => 'http://localhost/hybridauth/examples/twitter.php',

 
        'keys' => [ 'key'    => 'your-consumer-key', 'secret' => 'your-consumer-secret' ]

    ];

 
    $twitter = new Hybridauth\Provider\Twitter( $config );

 
    try {

        $twitter->authenticate();

 
        $userProfile = $twitter->getUserProfile();

 
        $accessToken = $twitter->getAccessToken();

 
        $apiResponse = $twitter->apiRequest( 'statuses/home_timeline.json' );

    }

    catch( Exception $e ){

        echo "Ooophs, we ran into an issue! " . $e->getMessage();

    }

For Facebook , Twitter and Google+ I still use my own little wrappers, but if you want more this is the way to go in the future :)

Enjoy coding …
