Stackoverflow
=============

Backend class
-------------

For Django, add this class path to ``AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS``. For other
integrations, use the same class path in the framework-specific backend
setting.

.. list-table::
   :header-rows: 1

   * - Backend name
     - Class path
   * - ``stackoverflow``
     - ``social_core.backends.stackoverflow.StackoverflowOAuth2``

Stackoverflow uses OAuth 2.0

- "Register For An App Key" at the `Stack Exchange API`_ site. Set your OAuth
  domain and application website settings.

    SOCIAL_AUTH_STACKOVERFLOW_KEY = ''
    SOCIAL_AUTH_STACKOVERFLOW_SECRET = ''
    SOCIAL_AUTH_STACKOVERFLOW_API_KEY = ''

- You can ask for extra permissions with::
