How to populate user profile with django-allauth provider information?

Question

I'm using django-allauth for my authentication system. I need that when the user sign in, the profile module get populated with the provider info (in my case facebook).

I'm trying to use the pre_social_login signal, but I just don't know how to retrieve the data from the provider auth

from django.dispatch import receiver
from allauth.socialaccount.signals import pre_social_login

@receiver(pre_social_login)

def populate_profile(sender, **kwargs):
    u = UserProfile( >>FACEBOOK_DATA<< )
    u.save()

Thanks!!!

The pre_social_login signal is sent after a user successfully authenticates via a social provider, but before the login is actually processed. This signal is emitted for social logins, signups and when connecting additional social accounts to an account.

So it is sent before the signup is fully completed -- therefore this not the proper signal to use.

Instead, I recommend you use allauth.account.signals.user_signed_up, which is emitted for all users, local and social ones.

From within that handler you can inspect whatever SocialAccount is attached to the user. For example, if you want to inspect Google+ specific data, do this:

user.socialaccount_set.filter(provider='google')[0].extra_data

UPDATE: the latest development version makes this a little bit more convenient by passing along a sociallogin parameter that directly contains all related info (social account, token, ...)

I had to use it this way: kwargs.get('user').socialaccount_set.filter(provider='facebook').extra_data but when I do so, I get this error: AttributeError at /accounts/facebook/login/callback/ 'QuerySet' object has no attribute 'extra_data' Thanks for the answer man!! Your app is awesome – Tomer Simis Jan 26 '13 at 04:27
Oops, my example was wrong (I just corrected it). I forgot to pick an item from the queryset ([0]), as in: ".filter(...)[0]..." – pennersr Jan 26 '13 at 12:12
The goodies in the sociallogin param can be accessed e.g. sociallogin.account.get_provider_display(), sociallogin.account.get_avatar_url(), sociallogin.account.get_profile_url(), sociallogin.account.provider, sociallogin.account.extra_data['screen_name'] ... – shacker Dec 03 '13 at 02:38

Here is a Concrete example of @pennersr solution :

Assumming your profile model has these 3 fields: first_name, email, picture_url

views.py:

@receiver(user_signed_up)
def populate_profile(sociallogin, user, **kwargs):    

    if sociallogin.account.provider == 'facebook':
        user_data = user.socialaccount_set.filter(provider='facebook')[0].extra_data
        picture_url = "http://graph.facebook.com/" + sociallogin.account.uid + "/picture?type=large"            
        email = user_data['email']
        first_name = user_data['first_name']

    if sociallogin.account.provider == 'linkedin':
        user_data = user.socialaccount_set.filter(provider='linkedin')[0].extra_data        
        picture_url = user_data['picture-urls']['picture-url']
        email = user_data['email-address']
        first_name = user_data['first-name']

    if sociallogin.account.provider == 'twitter':
        user_data = user.socialaccount_set.filter(provider='twitter')[0].extra_data
        picture_url = user_data['profile_image_url']
        picture_url = picture_url.rsplit("_", 1)[0] + "." + picture_url.rsplit(".", 1)[1]
        email = user_data['email']
        first_name = user_data['name'].split()[0]

    user.profile.avatar_url = picture_url
    user.profile.email_address = email
    user.profile.first_name = first_name
    user.profile.save()

If you are confused about those picture_url variable in each provider. Then take a look at the docs:

facebook:

picture_url = "http://graph.facebook.com/" + sociallogin.account.uid + "/picture?type=large" Docs

linkedin:

picture_url = user_data['picture-urls']['picture-url'] Docs

twitter:

picture_url = picture_url.rsplit("_", 1)[0] + "." + picture_url.rsplit(".", 1)[1] Docs And for the rsplit() take a look here

Hope that helps. :)

I am doing in this way and taking picture (field) url and google provider(field) as an example.

socialaccount_obj = SocialAccount.objects.filter(provider='google', user_id=self.user.id)
   picture = "not available"
   if len(socialaccount_obj):
            picture = socialaccount_obj[0].extra_data['picture']

make sure to import : from allauth.socialaccount.models import SocialAccount

There is an easier way to do this.

Just add the following to your settings.py. For example, Linked in...

SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = {
'linkedin': {
    'SCOPE': [
        'r_basicprofile',
        'r_emailaddress'
    ],
    'PROFILE_FIELDS': [
        'id',
        'first-name',
        'last-name',
        'email-address',
        'picture-url',
        'public-profile-url',
    ]
}

The fields are automatically pulled across.

How do you know what `SCOPE` and `PROFILE_FIELDS` key-values are available? – Flimm Sep 07 '19 at 11:54
That option is dependent on the providers. Currently it is available only for LinkedIn – Rahul Hindocha Apr 19 '21 at 09:48
