Weibo OAuth

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
weibo	social_core.backends.weibo.WeiboOAuth2

Weibo OAuth 2.0 workflow.

• Register a new application at Weibo.

• Fill Consumer Key and Consumer Secret values in the settings:

  SOCIAL_AUTH_WEIBO_KEY = ''
  SOCIAL_AUTH_WEIBO_SECRET = ''
  

By default account id, profile_image_url and gender are stored in extra_data field.

The user name is used by default to build the user instance username, sometimes this contains non-ASCII characters which might not be desirable for the website. To avoid this issue it’s possible to use the Weibo domain which will be inside the ASCII range by defining this setting:

SOCIAL_AUTH_WEIBO_DOMAIN_AS_USERNAME = True
