It defines how authentication backends connect to third-party services like OAuth 2.0, OpenID, and SAML providers, and establishes the contract for web framework integrations and storage solutions.\n\nThe package itself is framework-agnostic; it handles the core authentication logic, token management (via PyJWT and cryptography), and secure request handling (via oauthlib and requests-oauthlib). Developers use it by implementing framework-specific adapters and storage backends, then plugging in provider-specific authentication backends. Active development focuses on the core and Django integration, while other framework modules operate in maintenance mode.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, supports current Python versions (3.10\u20133.14), and carries a permissive BSD license. Install friction is low. It is a foundational choice for social authentication in Python web projects, though you will need to implement or install a framework-specific adapter (e.g., social-auth-app-django) and configure provider backends for your use case."},"id":"social-auth-core","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/social-auth-core","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/social-auth-core.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/social-auth-core/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-06","license_spdx":"BSD-3-Clause","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"social-auth-core","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python social authentication made simple."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":6220120,"position":1954,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"5.1.0"}
