How to realize a login?

[Muetze42]

I plan to login via Twitch.

I have a login view.

    public function login()
    {
        return view('auth.login', [
            'authorize_url' => $this->twitch->getOAuthAuthorizeUrl($responseType = 'code')
        ]);
    }

I can get the code.

    public function callback(Request $request)
    {
        Log::info($request->code);
    }

But how do I get the information like email address, Twitch username & Twitch-ID from this user?

You can obtain the OAuth Access & Refresh Token using the Twitch::getOAuthToken($code) method. The OAuth auth code flow is also documented on the Twitch Dev Docs page.

Although, I would recommend using Laravel Sociliate with the new Socialite Twitch Provider for handling OAuth.

With this package and socialite the message: "invalid client secret" appears again and again. And this one is just like on Twitch. I've checked all the data a thousand times.

I don't know what's wrong with Twicht or what I should do about it.

This package (Laravel-Twitch) comes with the follwing env variables (which you must fill with your Twitch App information):

TWITCH_HELIX_KEY=
TWITCH_HELIX_SECRET=
TWITCH_HELIX_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost

You have to change the following from the 4. Configuration setup tutorial to make the Twitch Socialite Provider compatible with Laravel-Twitch:

From:

'twitch' => [
    'client_id' => env('TWITCH_KEY'),
    'client_secret' => env('TWITCH_SECRET'),
    'redirect' => env('TWITCH_REDIRECT_URI')
],

To:

'twitch' => [
    'client_id' => env('TWITCH_HELIX_KEY'),
    'client_secret' => env('TWITCH_HELIX_SECRET'),
    'redirect' => env('TWITCH_REDIRECT_URI')
],

Thus the Twitch Socialite Provider uses the same credentials as for Laravel-Twitch.

I had that first. Twitch keeps telling me that my client secret is wrong. Even with Postman. Other APIs (Facebook, Google, Steam etc) run without problems, just not theirs. I think their API just sucks.
