    This method is used to authanticate user from an external source like Facebook, Twitter etc. It is only used for that purpose, You can add a new external source and use it for that.

    Is that only for token based authentication? If I can test it via Postman? Or, it only could be invoked from external login, I understand the external web login in a browser, but no idea how to use external login via API and token authentication.

    Look forward to show a sample.
