How to create a Yahoo App Project

Yahoo Social Login works through Yahoo Developer Network using OAuth 2.0. Although the link you provided refers to Flurry (Yahoo analytics).

Follow this guide to create a Yahoo OAuth application and connect it to your Social Login extension.

  1. Go to the official Yahoo Developer Apps dashboard and sign in using your Yahoo account.

  2. Create a New Yahoo App. Click Create an App in the dashboard and Fill in the required fields:

    • Application Name: e.g., Yahoo Social Login
    • Application Description: e.g., "Authentication for our website via Yahoo"
    • Application URL: your store homepage (e.g., https://example.com)

  3. Under API Permissions, enable:

    • OpenID Connect (OAuth-based login)
    • Required scopes:
      • openid
      • email
      • profile

    These scopes allow Yahoo to return the user's basic data.

  4. Add the Redirect URI provided in your Magento Social Login extension configuration.:

  5. Agree to Yahoo API terms and retrieve your API credentials. After creating the app, you will be taken to the App Details page. Copy Client ID and Client Secret and paste these values into the Yahoo section of your Social Login extension settings.

Your Yahoo Login Project is now fully configured and ready to use.
