Setting Up ID Services

To enable Twitter or Google ID Services with Caspio, you first need to register your application for each provider. After you do it, the same identification codes and keys for each ID Service can be used in your Caspio Authentications and Connections. Note that OpenID does not require any registration.

Note: Use this article only as a reference. The third-party provider might update their user interface at any time. If you need further help with these settings, see the support site of the provider.
