By Hello I'm wondering if there is a way to use the people credentials from a nation into my application.
I mean, is it possible that people from my nation logs in my app with their nationbuilder credentials (user and password)?
I mean, is it possible that people from my nation logs in my app with their nationbuilder credentials (user and password)?
I saw an app called oneclickpolitics which ensures that "NationBuilder customers can very Quickly and Securely login using their NationBuilder accounts."
How can I do that? Am I missing some functionality from the nationbuilder API? As far as I know, the people endpoint returns no credentials.
I would really appreciate any suggestions or help.
Thank you!

It sounds like what’s being requested here is Single Sign-On (SSO) support (there is a corresponding feature request here: http://nationbuilder.com/kelder/single_sign_on). The oAuth that’s currently implemented will only allow folks with control panel access to a nation (and the appropriate permissions) to install/use an app through that process.
It seems like providing an OpenID would serve the same function as the SSO – and would fall under feature requests as well. I’d encourage you to weigh in on the request linked above and/or add another over in http://nationbuilder.com/suggest to help give our team over here some more insight into your request and any additional context/use cases that you feel would be helpful for us.
Thanks!

Oauth would let me link my application to my nation, and if the user is an admin, make API calls. I suppose I could get people to try and authorize my app anyway and throw away the key after which would tell me they belong to my nation and have control panel access, but I don’t know how I’d ever identify them. And I don’t think I want them authorizing the application every time they want to log in.
