HWIOauthBundle: Create custom Resource Owner

Question

I followed this gist https://gist.github.com/danvbe/4476697 to get HWIOauthBundle to work on my site, and now I can login fine via a LinkedIn account and persist the user to my local database, so I'm pretty happy with that. However, my next step is to retrieve more information about the user via the LinkedIn API, and for now I only have the username and the formatted-name fields.

I've looked around in the code, the interesting chunk of code is in OAuth/ResourceOwner/LinkedinResourceOwner.php:

protected $options = array(
    'authorization_url'   => 'https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth/authenticate',
    'request_token_url'   => 'https://api.linkedin.com/uas/oauth/requestToken',
    'access_token_url'    => 'https://api.linkedin.com/uas/oauth/accessToken',
    'infos_url'           => 'http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(id,formatted-name)',
    'realm'               => 'http://api.linkedin.com',
);

So i thought I only needed to overwrite this ResourceOwner and modify the line

'infos_url'           => 'http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(id,formatted-name)',

by adding other fields. My idea was to create a MylinkedinResourceOwner class which extends the original LinkedinResourceOwner class. So that was what i did, and I added in my services.yml the following lines:

hwi_oauth.resource_owner.mylinkedin.class:  Acme\UserBundle\OAuth\ResourceOwner\MylinkedinResourceOwner
hwi_oauth.abstract_resource_owner.mylinkedin:
    class: "%hwi_oauth.resource_owner.mylinkedin.class%"
    parent: hwi_oauth.abstract_resource_owner.oauth2

and of course changed in config.yml:

hwi_oauth:
    resource_owners:
        linkedin:
            type:               mylinkedin
            client_id:          ***
            client_secret:      ***
            scope:              r_fullprofile

But unfortunately I have the following error

InvalidConfigurationException: Invalid configuration for path "hwi_oauth.resource_owners.linkedin.type": Unknown resource owner type "mylinkedin".

So my question is: am I doing this right to get additional information of a LinkedIn account ? If so, how can I solve this error ?

Thanks !

Answer 1

I finally found it, actually it's much simpler than what I did. The only thing I needed to do was to add a infos_url property in config.yml like this:

hwi_oauth:
    resource_owners:
        linkedin:
            type:               mylinkedin
            client_id:          ***
            client_secret:      ***
            scope:              r_fullprofile
            infos_url:          http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(id,first-name,last-name)

So no custom ResourceOwner at all.

Just a note to whoever stumbles on this:

It must be https, and make sure it's json if that's what you're expecting:

infos_url:      "https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(id,first-name,last-name,formatted-name,email-address)?format=json"

Answer 3

To get the linkedin email and profile-picture url for HWIOauthBundle I used this configuration.

....
resource_owners:
    linkedin:
        type:                linkedin
        client_id:           ***
        client_secret:       ***
        infos_url:           http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(id,formatted-name,email-address,picture-url)
        scope:               "r_basicprofile,r_emailaddress"
        paths:
            email:           emailAddress
            profilepicture:  pictureUrl
