Patreon

Follow these steps to add Patreon as a social sign-in provider to your project using the Ory CLI:

  1. Create a Patreon OAuth2 client.

  2. In the client configuration, set the redirect URI to:

    https://{project.slug}.projects.oryapis.com/self-service/methods/oidc/callback/patreon
  3. Create a Jsonnet code snippet to map the desired claims to the Ory Identity schema.

    Available Claims
    All claims require the identity scope

    • Subject: Id of the patreon user
    • Email: The patron's email (Additionally requires the identity[email] scope)
    • Name: The patron's full name
    • GivenName: The patron's first name
    • FamilyName: The patron's last name (Same as LastName)
    • LastName: The patron's last name (Same as FamilyName)
    • Picture: A URL to a patron's profile image if present

    local claims = std.extVar('claims');
    {
    identity: {
    traits: {
    [if "email" in claims then "email" else null]: claims.email,
    },
    },
    }

Don't save secrets such as API keys, credentials, or personal data directly in Jsonnet code snippets. Jsonnet code snippets used for data mapping aren't stored in an encrypted format in The Ory Network.

  1. Encode the Jsonnet snippet with Base64 or host it under an URL accessible to The Ory Network.

    cat your-data-mapping.jsonnet | base64
  2. Download the Ory Identities config from your project and save it to a file:

    ## List all available projects
    ory list projects

    ## Get config
    ory get identity-config {project-id} --format yaml > identity-config.yaml
  3. Add the social sign-in provider configuration to the downloaded config. Add the Jsonnet snippet with mappings as a Base64 string or provide an URL to the file.

    selfservice:
    methods:
    oidc:
    enabled: true
    config:
    providers:
    - id: patreon # this is `<provider-id>` in the Authorization callback URL. DO NOT CHANGE IT ONCE SET!
    provider: patreon
    client_id: .... # Replace this with the OAuth2 Client ID provided by Patreon
    client_secret: .... # Replace this with the OAuth2 Client Secret provided by Patreon
    mapper_url: "base64://{YOUR_BASE64_ENCODED_JSONNET_HERE}"
    # Alternatively, use an URL:
    # mapper_url: https://storage.googleapis.com/abc-cde-prd/9cac9717f007808bf17f22ce7f4295c739604b183f05ac4afb4

    # Patreon's scopes are [documented here](https://docs.patreon.com/#scopes)
    scope:
    - identity
    - identity[email]
    - identity.memberships
    - campaigns
    - w:campaigns.webhook
    - campaigns.members
    - campaigns.members[email]
    - campaigns.members.address
    - campaigns.posts
  4. Update the Ory Identities configuration using the file you worked with:

    ory update identity-config {project-id} --file updated_config.yaml
