tip:

In this guide, we assume you have basic knowledge of Logto Connectors. If you don't, check out the Configure connectors guide to get started.

Get started

The Hugging Face connector enables end-users to sign in to your application using their own Hugging Face accounts via Hugging Face OAuth / OpenID connect flow.

Sign in with Hugging Face account

Go to the Hugging Face website and sign in with your Hugging Face account. You may register a new account if you don't have one.

Create an OAuth app in the Hugging Face

Follow the Creating an oauth app guide, and register a new application.

In the creation process, you will need to provide the following information:

• Application Name: The name of your application.
• Homepage URL: The URL of your application's homepage or landing page.
• Logo URL: The URL of your application's logo.
• Scopes: The scopes allowed for the OAuth app. For Hugging Face connector, usually use profile to get the user's profile information and email to get the user's email address. Ensure these scopes are allowed in your Hugging Face OAuth app if you want to use them.
• Redirect URI: The URL to redirect the user to after they have authenticated. You can find the redirect URI in the Logto Admin Console when you're creating a Hugging Face connector or in the created Hugging Face connector details page.

Managing Hugging Face OAuth apps

Go to the Connected Applications page, you can add, edit or delete existing OAuth apps. You can also find Client ID and generate App secrets in corresponding OAuth app settings pages.

Configure your connector

Fill out the clientId and clientSecret field with Client ID and App Secret you've got from OAuth app detail pages mentioned in the previous section.

scope is a space-delimited list of Hugging Face supported scopes. If not provided, scope defaults to be profile. For Hugging Face connector, the scope you may want to use is profile and email. profile scope is required to get the user's profile information, and email scope is required to get the user's email address. Ensure you have allowed these scopes in your Hugging Face OAuth app (configured in Create an OAuth app in the Hugging Face section).
