Lyft

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']
    

To learn more about the API and the calls that are available, read the Lyft API Documentation.
