Hello, how would I get user data from the thirdparty provider? Im using ThirdPartyNode.Discord
I have a react component in NextJS which should contain the discord username and discord user icon. Ive looked a bit into the user metadata but have no idea how to make it add it once the user logged in

Hey! You can get the access token from discord (see https://supertokens.com/docs/thirdparty/common-customizations/getting-provider-access-token), and then you can query discord to get the required info, which you can save in the user metadata
p
Thank you! Also, can SuperTokens work if I disable the email scope on the thirdparty auth?
r
Yes it is possible, but a little hacky. You want to override the discord provider to manually set the email to "something". You can do it this way:
Copy code
ts
ThirdParty.init({
    signInAndUpFeature: {
        providers: [{
            ...DiscordProvider,
            get: (redirectURI, authCodeFromRequest, userContext) => {
                let result = DiscordProvider.get(redirectURI, authCodeFromRequest, userContext);
                return {
                    ...result,
                    getProfileInfo: (accessTokenAPIResponse: {
                        access_token,
                        expires_in,
                        token_type
                    }) => {
                        let accessToken = accessTokenAPIResponse.access_token;
                        let authHeader = `Bearer ${accessToken}`;
                        let response = await axios({
                            method: "get",
                            url: "https://discord.com/api/users/@me",
                            headers: {
                                Authorization: authHeader,
                            },
                        });
                        let userInfo = response.data;
                        let username = "..." // fetch username from discord
                        return {
                            id: userInfo.id,
                            email:
                                userInfo.email === undefined
                                    ? undefined
                                    : {
                                        id: username + "@example.com", // doesn't really matter
                                        isVerified: true,
                                    },
                        };
                    },
                }
            },
        }]
    }
})
Essentially we fake an email which is 
${username}@example.com
and this should be fine. Just jeep in mind that if you even want to send an email to this user, you won't actually have their email.

Thank you! It works perfectly
r
ok great
p
So I have a userdata endpoint to get the metadata i attached
Copy code
ts
export default async function userData(
    req: NextApiRequest & Request,
    res: NextApiResponse & Response
) {

    await superTokensNextWrapper(
        async (next) => {
            await middleware()(req, res, next)
        },
        req,
        res
    )

    const session = (req as SessionRequest).session;
    console.log(session)
    const userId = session!.getUserId();

    const { metadata } = await UserMetadata.getUserMetadata(userId);

    res.json(metadata)

}
session
is undefined always
r
you need to use verifySession and not middleware - please check the docs once again 🙂

👍 Thank you
