Laravel Socialite using for getting tokens only?

My question is Laravel Socialite using for getting tokens only?

For example, I want make Facebook post thought API. I cant find any methods in Socialite docs. Does it means, that Socialite using only for getting tokens?

Solution

  • As I see in https://socialiteproviders.com/, thats only auth additions.

    As auth, it response basic user information, but if you need make full API list, you need find another solution.

    I find solution, but I want explain my task:

    I need use Instagram API through Facebook.

    Facebook has PHP SDK for using Facebook API, with examples, which arent show any instagram cases with API using. I didnt manage Instagram API with Facebook SDK. And I cant find any working solutions using Facebook SDK.

    1. So, in my case, I am using Laravel Socialite for generate redirect URL and access token.
    2. And then I am using manual HTTP client for Instagram API with token from Socialite.
