Oculus Authentication

Data Use Checkups​

In order to access any user data from Meta's services, you'll need to complete Data Use Checkups for Meta's team to verify.

Navigate to your game's Meta Developer Dashboard, go to Requirements > Data Use Checkup:

Once complete, click Submit Verification. While waiting for approval, we can configure both Meta & mod.io's services for authentication.

Configuration​

In order to set up Oculus Authentication, you must configure your App Id & App Secret in your mod.io game authentication options.

To find these details, navigate to your game's Meta Developer Dashboard, click Development > API.

note

Make sure to use the App ID, NOT the Federated App ID.

Once you have your App Id & App Secret, go to your game admin page on mod.io. Under General Settings > Platform Authentication, add your App Id & App Secret under Oculus Quest ID & Oculus Quest Secret.

Performing Authentication​

If your game is using an official mod.io plugin, follow the relevant link below for authenticating players using Oculus SSO, or another supported platform authentication method:

If you are building something custom using the mod.io REST API, follow the instructions provided here to authenticate players using Oculus SSO, by calling the /external/oculusauth endpoint.
