Laravel and social networks
Is there a package for communicating with most popular social networks in Laravel? Not just logging in but also accessing other API endpoints?
Look at this https://github.com/abjerner/Skybrud.Social It would be nice to have the same in Laravel.

But that's basically for authentication, right? What if I want something that can access most parts of the APIs.

I guess for the time being there is no package but Socialite that communicate with social networks

Over on Google and YouTube there are plenty of tutorials. Plus Facebook, Twitter, slack and Instagram have php packages.
Sometimes you really don't "need" a package specific to Laravel. Just set up a class with Laravel type syntax/API as a wrapper.
Socialite is for auth. As stripe is mainly for subscriptions etc. so very opioninated to that fact though do have other features.

I know how to use an API, but if there were libraries it would most likely be easier.

no problem. he's got some good stuff there. It's helped me start learning to write my own wrappers.
