omniauth-medium

This is an unofficial OmniAuth strategy for authenticating through Medium.

To use it, you'll need to register a new OAuth application with Medium.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'omniauth-medium'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install omniauth-medium

Basic Usage

For Rack-based applications

use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :medium, ENV['MEDIUM_CLIENT_ID'], ENV['MEDIUM_CLIENT_SECRET'], scope: 'basicProfile,listPublications'
end

In Rails, you'll want to add to the middleware stack:

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider : medium, ENV['MEDIUM_CLIENT_ID'], ENV['MEDIUM_CLIENT_SECRET'], scope: 'basicProfile,listPublications'
end

See the example Sinatra app for a full example.

For more information on interfacing with Medium's API, head over to their documentation.

Auth Hash Schema

OmniAuth will return an authentication hash similar to the example below. Learn more about the Auth Hash Schema.

    "token"=>"...",
    "refresh_token"=>"...",
    "expires_at"=>...,

  },
  "extra"=>{

  }
}

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release to create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
