I am building an API which should allow users to login with Github API. The problem is that once my endpoint receives a callback with the auth token from github, I have no way of identifying from what user request that login originated ... is there any way to append a payload to the OAuth request that would contain any user defined session ID for example?



Or do I just have to build a "proxy website" that will use sessions to get the token and then redirects me to the web app again?
