All fetch profile APIs return the same interface:
interface OAuthProfile {
id?: string
email?: string
emailVerified?: boolean
first?: string
last?: string
avatar?: string
raw: any
}
Where raw
is the raw JSON-parsed data returned from the provider.
Other fields are calculated carefully based on the data returned from each provider.
