Using Laravel Socialite with an API?

Question

I am trying to use the Laravel Socialite package on top of the api. I try to pass the code to my api to get the user, but it keeps giving me an error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function pull() on null 

Since I am executing an API request, I am doing the following steps.

Send api request for url to retrieve code:

 Socialite::with('facebook')->stateless()->redirect()->getTargetUrl() 

Then run the query with the above URL, which is redirected with the code parameter.

Send the code to api and select the user:

 $fb_user = Socialite::with('facebook')->user(); 

Here it is crashing. I do not know why.

I have used the package before and it works great when I just have an application that reloads the page. But when I send it to api (in another domain), it crashes. I think there is some problem with how the code is generated. Is there any way to fix this?

Just found your answer. You must use stateless in both calls:

 Socialite::with('facebook')->stateless()->redirect()->getTargetUrl() $fb_user = Socialite::with('facebook')->stateless()->user(); 

Hope this helps someone.
