04/01/2023, 4:14 PMSince SuperTokens does not offer a C# SDK, then how can I implement a social login from scratch using C# (Xamarin)? It is not obvious in the documentation. What I am hoping for is a series of API calls and/or website URLs to show in a web browser control instead of SDK calls because SuperTokens does not provide an SDK for this language

04/01/2023, 4:18 PMhey @Happypig375 you can spin up a node server with our supertokens-node backend sdk, and this would then expose the login methods to your frontend.
Post login, the session would contain a JWT which you can send to the c# backend and verify it there using the jwks endpoint exposed by the node backend.

04/01/2023, 4:20 PMSo I must spin up an additional backend to use SuperTokens?
Happypig375
04/01/2023, 4:20 PMNo direct API calls?
Happypig375
04/01/2023, 4:21 PMThat's a bummer 🙁

04/01/2023, 4:21 PMWell, you can make direct API calls to the core from your c# code. Here is the API spec: https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/supertokens/CDI

04/01/2023, 4:21 PMbut it would involve a bit of work on your end to do the code exhange from the social login provider

04/01/2023, 4:22 PMIn my case I don't have a budget to host a backend
Happypig375
04/01/2023, 4:22 PMSo I am looking for skipping the backend

04/01/2023, 4:23 PMi see. Im afraid that you will require a backend for this for sure. You can try using aws lambda. It's very cheap and works.

04/01/2023, 4:25 PMWhat do you mean budget @Happypig375 you can host the node server for basically free

Happypig375
04/01/2023, 4:25 PMEmail and password login, meanwhile, should be as simple as in that API template right?
Happypig375
04/01/2023, 4:25 PMon AWS?
