Yahoo

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
yahoo-oauth2	social_core.backends.yahoo.YahooOAuth2

Yahoo supports OAuth2 for their auth flow.

OAuth 2.0 workflow, useful if you are planning to use Yahoo’s API.

• Register a new application at Yahoo Developer Center, set your app domain and configure scopes (they can’t be overridden by application).

• Add the Yahoo OAuth2 backend to your settings page:

  SOCIAL_AUTH_AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
      ...
      'social_core.backends.yahoo.YahooOAuth2',
      ...
  )
  

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

  SOCIAL_AUTH_YAHOO_OAUTH2_KEY = ''
  SOCIAL_AUTH_YAHOO_OAUTH2_SECRET = ''
