Using Laravel socialite with CLI

Question

Can socialite authenticate from the CLI without the need to use curl? my purpose is to get data from angellist every two hours and store them in the database. so I thought I can have a scheduler to run every two hours. but I need to be authenticated and I don't want to use curl as socialite has many features already in place.

I love to hear your suggestions.

Answer 1

I recommend using Mozilla Persona for user authentication, that way you don't have to worry about which social login the user has/doesn't have.

It's probably easier to set up too, and you don't need an https certificate because the the authentication is happening elsewhere (like social auth).
