Getting authenticated user's data from oauth provider about edgedb HOT 4 OPEN

We haven't documented this well, but in the final callback after the PKCE flow, when we give you the auth token and identity ID, we also give you back whatever the OAuth provider gave us under the keys: provider_token and provider_refresh_token which you can use to make authenticated calls to the identity provider.

I'll leave this ticket open while we add more guidance in the documentation for this.

@scotttrinh is there any GitHub repo that has already done this? i'd very much appreciate it because i couldn't find one.

We have a documentation PR that will land shortly to show how to do this. You can see it here: #7354 or wait for a bit until it lands in the guides itself.

thank you,

You point me in the right direction and i found out this is how you can achieve it with GitHub:

    const userDataReq = await fetch("https://api.github.com/user", {
        headers: {
          Authorization: `token ${tokenData.provider_token}`,
        },
      });
      const userData = (await userDataReq.json()) as GithubUserDataRes;
