GET /authorize

​
Social

You can connect your Auth0 service to a social identity provider and allow your users to log in to your application via Facebook, Google, Apple, or other supported providers. To learn more about supported providers, visit Marketplace. To authenticate users with a social provider, make a GET call to the /authorize endpoint. It will return a 302 redirect to the social provider specified in the connection parameter.
Social connections only support browser-based (passive) authentication because most social providers don’t allow a username and password to be entered into applications that they don’t own. Therefore, the user will be redirected to the provider’s sign in page.

​
Remarks

  • If response_type=token, after the user authenticates on the provider, it will redirect to your application callback URL passing the Access Token and ID Token in the address location.hash. This is used for Single-Page Apps and also on Native Mobile SDKs.
  • The sample auth0.js script uses the library version 8. If you are using auth0.js version 7, please see this reference guide.
