OAuth Providers
Logo for stackexchangeStack Exchange
Obtain access tokens to Stack Exchange accounts with Handshake.

How it works

With your instance deployed, redirect users to:

https://YOUR_HANDSHAKE_INSTANCE_URL/auth/HANDLER_ID/redirect

Where HANDLER_ID is either stackexchange or the value passed to the optional id argument of the StackExchange() factory. (See Options below.)

Handshake will take each user through the Stack Exchange OAuth flow and before sending them back to you, at the URL specified by the callback_uri query parameter.


Options

Modify your app/options.ts file to include the StackExchange() handler like so:

app/options.ts
import { StackExchange, HandshakeOptions } from "handshake";
 
const config: HandshakeOptions = {
  handlers: [
    StackExchange({
      clientId: string,
      clientSecret: string,
    });
  ],
}
 
// ...
