XF 2.3 API / Oauth2 : get username and email [2.3.0B5]

[ndahiya]

hi -

am trying to get OAuth2 to work with xenforo as the master and mediawiki as the client. fwiw, i am using "oauth2 client" extension for mediawiki.

the relevant settings are:

$wgOAuth2Client['client']['id'] = 'xxxxx'; // The client ID assigned to you by the provider
$wgOAuth2Client['client']['secret'] = 'xxxxx'; // The client secret assigned to you by the provider

$wgOAuth2Client['configuration']['authorize_endpoint'] = 'https://mysite/f/index.php?oauth2/authorize'; // Authorization URL
$wgOAuth2Client['configuration']['access_token_endpoint'] = 'https://mysite/f/index.php?api/oauth2/token'; // Token URL
$wgOAuth2Client['configuration']['api_endpoint'] = 'https://mysite/f/index.php?api/me'; // URL to fetch user JSON
$wgOAuth2Client['configuration']['redirect_uri'] = 'https://mysite/wiki/index.php?title=Special:OAuth2Client/callback'; //$

$wgOAuth2Client['configuration']['username'] = 'username'; // JSON path to username
$wgOAuth2Client['configuration']['email'] = 'email'; // JSON path to email

$wgOAuth2Client['configuration']['scopes'] = 'user:read'; //Permissions

i am able to see the login page when i click on Oauth2 login in mediawiki, but the username and email are not getting passed to mediawiki on the redirect back.
any help appreciated!

I'm not familiar with the MediaWiki plugin but you can view the api/me/ response format here:

REST API endpoints (2.2)

This document assumes you have already created an API key and setup the necessary headers for your request. Learn more about using the API.

xenforo.com

It returns one field me with the user API result, so the JSON paths are presumably me.username and me.email.

Interested in this very use case. @ndahiya were you able to get this working?

I'm interested in getting this scenario working (again - it was working back in 2020 with now long-deprecated versions). XF 2.3 has the OAuth2 feature but it seems the OAuth2 MediaWiki extension is now not compatible with v1.42+ (which is the current stable):

This extension is incompatible with MediaWiki 1.42 or any later release!
