How to Implement Social Media Authentication in a Laravel API?
Hi everyone,
I want to create an API that handles authentication via social media, specifically with Google. However, all the tutorials I’ve come across only cover standard authentication using email and password.
Could someone explain how to implement social media authentication on the API side? What libraries or packages would you recommend to enable integration with Google (or other platforms)? How can I set up the proper endpoints to handle this process?
I’d greatly appreciate any help—documentation, sample code, or links to reliable resources.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!

@nomad1139 As has been pointed out, the way to handle social media authentication in a Laravel app is with the first-party Socialite package.
If you don’t know how to use it, read its docs, try writing some code, and post if you have a more specific question. “I don’t know how” isn’t really a great starting point for people trying to help you.
