Lyft

Backend class

For Django, add this class path to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS. For other integrations, use the same class path in the framework-specific backend setting.

Backend name	Class path
lyft	social_core.backends.lyft.LyftOAuth2

Lyft implements OAuth2 as its authorization service. To setup a Lyft backend:

1. Register a new application via the Lyft Developer Portal.

2. Add the Lyft OAuth2 backend as an option in your settings:

   SOCIAL_AUTH_AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
       ...
       'social_core.backends.lyft.LyftOAuth2',
       ...
   )
   

3. Use the Client Id and Client Secret from the Developer Portal into your settings:

   SOCIAL_AUTH_LYFT_KEY = ''
   SOCIAL_AUTH_LYFT_SECRET = ''
   

4. Specify the scope that your app should have access to:

   SOCIAL_AUTH_LYFT_SCOPE = ['public', 'profile', 'rides.read', 'rides.request']
