Working without frontend :)

[eusonlito]

I currently have a project connected with dropbox and google drive with oauth and all my connection is only using backend code.

1. My backend detect is user has a token on database related to service.
2. If token not exists, backend generate an auth url to oauth service (dropbox and google) with a redirect_url parameter to manage responses.
3. Backend check parameters (state and code) and generate an api token, as an usual on oauth services.
4. I have working all oauth process also with token refresh.

I'm coding a PHP API service to Pizzly based on your node service to release on finish.

• Can I do this process using Pizzly without frontend code?
• Can I get an Pizzly URL to send my users to be authenticated with oauth?
• Can Pizzly redirect to a redirect_url after that with the authId?

Once backend has a user authId I can connect my backend with Pizzly using my PHP service.

Thanks!

@eusonlito Pizzly works great for both backend and frontend applications.

The only caveat with backend is that at some point you will need to prompt an authorization modal to the user. This needs to be managed by some frontend code (JS). But once you've an authId it's totally manageable from the backend.

• To prompt the authorization modal, here's a lightweight snippet and a long-format tutorial in React or Vue.js.
• To make API call from the backend, look at the proxy & API references.

PS: I might have not well understood what you're trying to achieve. If that's the case, I'm really sorry! Feel free to explain further or add a schema / diagram of the whole flow. That might be easier!
