Social Login flow using API

[former_member650899]

Hello experts,

Working on social media APIs flow as we are not using gigya's screenset.

For login process, after using accounts.socialLogin REST API , do we need to call socialize.notifyLogin API complusory ?

Want to know when exactly we need to call socialize.notifyLogin API. Explanation with example will be helpful.

Many thanks,

Kalyaneey

Hi,

Using account.socialLogin typically is sufficient and there isn't always a need to call socialize.notifyLogin. Typically socialize.notifyLogin is used to manage 3rd party logins that take place outside of accounts system where you will manage the siteUID for the customer. When socialize,notifyLogin is call a cookie is then created that can be passed back to the client side webSDK that when refreshed will create a client side session. With accounts.socialLogin this API will manage the social login flow, and provides an option to have a token/code response to allow you to manage the authenticated session rather than relying on the gigya web SDK.

Thanks
Stephen
