# Weibo OAuth

Weibo OAuth 2.0 workflow.

- Register a new application at Weibo.

- Fill `Consumer Key` and `Consumer Secret` values in the settings:

      SOCIAL_AUTH_WEIBO_KEY = ''
      SOCIAL_AUTH_WEIBO_SECRET = ''

By default `account id`, `profile_image_url` and `gender` are stored in extra_data field.

The user name is used by default to build the user instance `username`, sometimes this contains non-ASCII characters which might not be desirable for the website. To avoid this issue it’s possible to use the Weibo `domain` which will be inside the ASCII range by defining this setting:

    SOCIAL_AUTH_WEIBO_DOMAIN_AS_USERNAME = True
