How to get data from OAuth Providers?

[zdanl]

🔖 Feature description

There is not much information of the OAuth transaction left in the account.get() Response object using the Appwrite SDK, and we would need not just the name, standardized per Appwrite Auth, but also the Github URL, API Token, Profile Picture, and such. Is there currently any way to do this, without patching AppWrite?

🎤 Pitch

There is many reasons to expose that data to the browser, for ease of integration with other platforms. Please correct me if there already is a way.

I have a strong feeling it's gonna be ignored, no matter how much effort I put in.

Does account.createOAuth2Session() https://appwrite.io/docs/client/account?sdk=web-default#accountCreateOAuth2Session currently have a return object with api key or data from selected scopes?

If not, is there any advise on the patch beyond git clone appwrite & grep "createOAuth2"?

@zdanl yes, it is possible to fetch data from the OAuth provider, assuming adequate scopes were requested. Currently, OAuth data is in the Session rather than Account. As such, instead of calling account.get(), you would call account.getSession('current') to get the current Session. Assuming the session is an OAuth session, providerAccessToken would be populated with the access token from the OAuth provider. You can, then, use that access token to make API calls to the OAuth2 provider.
