Description

Oauth2 provider: user end point not documented. User API url & scope keys?

I would like to enable login via Gitea Oauth2 provider in my Kanboard instance with this Kanboard plugin:
https://github.com/kanboard/plugin-oauth2
It authorizes fine, but since I can not find any documentation on what to fill for User API URL and the individual scope keys it fails to create an user.

Might be related to this:
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/5123

Thanks for looking into this!

Once you have an oauth2 token you can use that to request any API. I suspect you want the information from the /api/v1/user endpoint, as that is what several libraries use in your situation (example: https://github.com/markbates/goth/blob/master/providers/gitea/gitea.go#L28 )

Please open a discussion on the forum, if you have additional questions: https://discourse.gitea.io/

/api/v1/user works!
Trying with is now from the link above:

		Name      string `json:"full_name"`
		Email     string `json:"email"`
		NickName  string `json:"login"`
		ID        int    `json:"id"`

Edit: that seems to work in Kanboard. Would be nice it that was added to the documentation.
