SoundCloud Strategy for OmniAuth 1.0

November 18th, 2011 by Lee Martin

OmniAuth

OmniAuth is a great little Rack library that standardizes multi-provider authentication for web applications. As OmniAuth says, “it was created to be powerful, flexible, and do as little as possible.” I use it constantly on hacks that mash up multiple API providers.

You can now add SoundCloud to the growing list of strategies OmniAuth 1.0 supports.

 

Installing

Add to your Gemfile:

gem 'omniauth-soundcloud', '~> 1.0.0'

Then bundle install.

 

Basic Usage

Add the following piece of Rack middleware.

use OmniAuth::Builder do
    provider "soundcloud", ENV['SOUNDCLOUD_CLIENT_ID'], ENV['SOUNDCLOUD_SECRET']
end
