OAuth overview
Configure your extension for OAuth and allow users to authenticate with an OAuth identity provider.
Netlify allows you to leverage your OAuth identity provider so that users can use their existing credentials to authorize your extension. Once authorized, your extension can then make authenticated requests to APIs on the user’s behalf.
To use OAuth with your extension, there are three steps:
- Configure your extension to work with your OAuth identity provider
- Add an OAuth card element to your extension UI
- Add logic to use the OAuth token on API requests while the extension runs
