Nango Auth – Free OAuth for 250 APIs

Hacker News

Nango Auth is a free, source-available implementation of (O)Auth for 250+ APIs. Auth with external APIs is surprisingly difficult. OAuth is a mess[0], many APIs require parameters other than an API key or access token, and platforms like Stripe or GitHub even create their own custom auth protocols. We first launched Nango Auth on HN 1.5 years ago[1] when it only supported 40 OAuth APIs. Since then, it has expanded beyond OAuth into an end-to-end solution for API authentication: - Supports 250+ APIs[2] and almost a dozen auth modes: OAuth 2.0, OAuth 1.0, API key, Basic auth, and a half-dozen custom formats - Pre-built UI to help users pick & connect the API (including guides to find their API key and other required parameters) - Automatic credentials validation on connect - Secure, encrypted credentials storage & automatic token refresh - Detects expired/broken access tokens - Very detailed logs for quick & easy debugging More than 300 companies use Nango Auth in production for their product integrations: From fast-growing AI startups (Respell, Beam, Levity) to established SaaS players (Typeform, Semgrep, Electric) and even public companies. We also run a Slack Community[3] with 2,000+ engineers building product integrations. Nango Auth is a part of Nango[4], our source-available product integrations platform. While Nango itself is a paid product, our auth product (Nango Auth) is free for unlimited use, forever. It’s our small way of giving back to the community. You can either self-host Nango Auth or use our free cloud option. We hope Nango Auth can be helpful for your next integration, and look forward to your feedback!
