How does omniauth-taobao work with Taobao

API permission levels

Taobao has three API permission levels

• Default API (Requires additional approval from Taobao)
• Buyer API
• Seller API

These permission levels are granted during your app application process based on your app type. To configure omniauth-taobao work with the correct type, please use something like this (omniauth + device example in devise.rb file):

config.omniauth :taobao, "Your_APP_Key", "Your_APP_Secret", :strategy_class => OmniAuth::Strategies::Taobao, :client_options => {:user_type => :seller}

The :user_type option can be one of :default,:buyer and :seller.

User Get Info Response

Different API Permission levels needs to use different API to obtain user's info.

The documentation for these API can be found here

omniauth-taobao will chose the proper API method based on your :user_type option.
