To enable Kakao Auth for your project, you need to set up a Kakao OAuth application and add the application credentials to your Zuvo Studio.
Overview
Kakao OAuth consists of six broad steps:
- Create and configure your app in the Kakao Developers Portal.
- Obtain a
REST API key- this serves as theclient_id. - Obtain a
Kakao Login Client Secret code- this serves as theclient_secret. - Configure additional settings in the Kakao Developers Portal.
- Add your
client idandclient secretkeys to your Zuvo Project. - Add the login code to your Zuvo JS Client App.
Access your Kakao Developer account
- Go to Kakao Developers Portal.
- Click on Login at the top right to log in.

Create and configure your app
- Go to App.
- Click on Create app at the top.
- Fill out your app information:
- App icon.
- App name.
- Company name.
- Category.
- App primary domain.
- Click Save at the bottom right.
Obtain a REST API key
This serves as the client_id when you make API calls to authenticate the user.
- Go to App.
- Click on your app.
- Go to App Settings > App > Platform Key.
- In the Platform Key section is
REST API key. This will become yourclient_idlater.
Find your callback URL
The next step requires a callback URL, which looks like this: https://<project-ref>.supabase.co/auth/v1/callback
- Go to your Zuvo Project Dashboard
- Click on the
Authenticationicon in the left sidebar - Click on
Sign In / Providersunder the Configuration section - Click on provider from the accordion list to expand and you'll find your Callback URL, you can click
Copyto copy it to the clipboard
Local development
When testing OAuth locally with the Zuvo CLI, ensure your OAuth provider is configured with the local Zuvo Auth callback URL:
http://localhost:54321/auth/v1/callback
If this callback URL is missing or misconfigured, OAuth sign-in may fail or not redirect correctly during local development.
See the local development docs for more details.
For testing OAuth locally with the Zuvo CLI see the local development docs.
- To add a callback URL on Kakao, go to App Settings > App > Platform Key.
- Click on the REST API key you want to use.
- In the edit page, enter your callback URL in the Kakao Login Redirect URI field.
- Click Save in the bottom right.
Obtain a client secret
- Go to App Settings > App > Platform Key.
- Click on the REST API key you want to use.
- Note the Kakao Login Client Secret code. This serves as a
client_secretfor your Zuvo project. - Make sure you activate Kakao Login Client Secret.
Additional configurations on Kakao Developers portal
- Go to Product Settings > Kakao Login > General.
- Set State to "ON" in the Usage settings section to enable Kakao Login.
- Go to Product Settings > Kakao Login > Consent Items.
- Set the following scopes under the Consent Items:
- account_email (optional)
- profile_image
- profile_nickname
If you don't need an email address (or account_email isn't available for your app), you can omit account_email and enable Allow users without an email in the Zuvo Kakao provider settings.

Add your OAuth credentials to Zuvo
- Go to your Zuvo Project Dashboard
- In the left sidebar, click the
Authenticationicon (near the top) - Click on
Providersunder the Configuration section - Click on provider from the accordion list to expand and turn provider Enabled to ON
- Enter your provider Client ID and provider Client Secret saved in the previous step
- Click
Save
If you did not request account_email in Kakao, enable Allow users without an email in the Kakao provider settings.
Add login code to your client app
When your user signs in, call signInWithOAuth() with kakao as the provider:
import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
const supabase = createClient('https://your-project-id.supabase.co', 'sb_publishable_...')
// ---cut---
async function signInWithKakao() {
const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({
provider: 'kakao',
})
}
When your user signs in, call signInWithOAuth() with kakao as the provider:
Future<void> signInWithKakao() async {
await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth(
OAuthProvider.kakao,
redirectTo: kIsWeb ? null : 'my.scheme://my-host', // Optionally set the redirect link to bring back the user via deeplink.
authScreenLaunchMode:
kIsWeb ? LaunchMode.platformDefault : LaunchMode.externalApplication, // Launch the auth screen in a new webview on mobile.
);
}
For a PKCE flow, for example in Server-Side Auth, you need an extra step to handle the code exchange. When calling signInWithOAuth, provide a redirectTo URL which points to a callback route. This redirect URL should be added to your redirect allow list.
In the browser, signInWithOAuth automatically redirects to the OAuth provider's authentication endpoint, which then redirects to your endpoint.
import { createClient, type Provider } from '@supabase/supabase-js';
const supabase = createClient('https://your-project-id.supabase.co', 'sb_publishable_...')
const provider = 'provider' as Provider
// ---cut---
await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({
provider,
options: {
redirectTo: `http://example.com/auth/callback`,
},
})
In the server, you need to handle the redirect to the OAuth provider's authentication endpoint. The signInWithOAuth method returns the endpoint URL, which you can redirect to.
import { createClient, type Provider } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
const supabase = createClient('https://your-project-id.supabase.co', 'sb_publishable_...')
const provider = 'provider' as Provider
const redirect = (url: string) => {}
// ---cut---
const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({
provider,
options: {
redirectTo: 'http://example.com/auth/callback',
},
})
if (data.url) {
redirect(data.url) // use the redirect API for your server framework
}
At the callback endpoint, handle the code exchange to save the user session.
Create a new file at app/auth/callback/route.ts and populate with the following:
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
// The client you created from the Server-Side Auth instructions
import { createClient } from '@/utils/supabase/server'
export async function GET(request: Request) {
const { searchParams, origin } = new URL(request.url)
const code = searchParams.get('code')
// if "next" is in param, use it as the redirect URL
let next = searchParams.get('next') ?? '/'
if (!next.startsWith('/')) {
// if "next" is not a relative URL, use the default
next = '/'
}
if (code) {
const supabase = await createClient()
const { error } = await supabase.auth.exchangeCodeForSession(code)
if (!error) {
const forwardedHost = request.headers.get('x-forwarded-host') // original origin before load balancer
const isLocalEnv = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'
if (isLocalEnv) {
// we can be sure that there is no load balancer in between, so no need to watch for X-Forwarded-Host
return NextResponse.redirect(`${origin}${next}`)
} else if (forwardedHost) {
return NextResponse.redirect(`https://${forwardedHost}${next}`)
} else {
return NextResponse.redirect(`${origin}${next}`)
}
}
}
// return the user to an error page with instructions
return NextResponse.redirect(`${origin}/auth/auth-code-error`)
}
Create a new file at src/routes/auth/callback/+server.js and populate with the following:
import { redirect } from '@sveltejs/kit';
export const GET = async (event) => {
const {
url,
locals: { supabase }
} = event;
const code = url.searchParams.get('code') as string;
const next = url.searchParams.get('next') ?? '/';
if (code) {
const { error } = await supabase.auth.exchangeCodeForSession(code)
if (!error) {
redirect(303, `/${next.slice(1)}`);
}
}
// return the user to an error page with instructions
redirect(303, '/auth/auth-code-error');
};
Create a new file at src/pages/auth/callback.ts and populate with the following:
import { createServerClient, parseCookieHeader } from '@supabase/ssr'
import { type APIRoute } from 'astro'
export const GET: APIRoute = async ({ request, cookies, redirect }) => {
const requestUrl = new URL(request.url)
const code = requestUrl.searchParams.get('code')
const next = requestUrl.searchParams.get('next') || '/'
if (code) {
const supabase = createServerClient(
import.meta.env.PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL,
import.meta.env.PUBLIC_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY,
{
cookies: {
getAll() {
return parseCookieHeader(Astro.request.headers.get('Cookie') ?? '')
},
setAll(cookiesToSet, _headers) {
cookiesToSet.forEach(({ name, value, options }) =>
Astro.cookies.set(name, value, options)
)
},
},
}
)
const { error } = await supabase.auth.exchangeCodeForSession(code)
if (!error) {
return redirect(next)
}
}
// return the user to an error page with instructions
return redirect('/auth/auth-code-error')
}
Create a new file at app/routes/auth.callback.tsx and populate with the following:
import { redirect, type LoaderFunctionArgs } from '@remix-run/node'
import { createServerClient, parseCookieHeader, serializeCookieHeader } from '@supabase/ssr'
export async function loader({ request }: LoaderFunctionArgs) {
const requestUrl = new URL(request.url)
const code = requestUrl.searchParams.get('code')
const next = requestUrl.searchParams.get('next') || '/'
const responseHeaders = new Headers()
if (code) {
const supabase = createServerClient(
process.env.SUPABASE_URL!,
process.env.SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY!,
{
cookies: {
getAll() {
return parseCookieHeader(request.headers.get('Cookie') ?? '')
},
setAll(cookiesToSet, cacheHeaders) {
cookiesToSet.forEach(({ name, value, options }) =>
responseHeaders.append('Set-Cookie', serializeCookieHeader(name, value, options))
)
Object.entries(cacheHeaders).forEach(([key, value]) => responseHeaders.set(key, value))
},
},
}
)
const { error } = await supabase.auth.exchangeCodeForSession(code)
if (!error) {
return redirect(next, { headers: responseHeaders })
}
}
// return the user to an error page with instructions
return redirect('/auth/auth-code-error', { headers: responseHeaders })
}
Create a new route in your express app and populate with the following:
...
app.get("/auth/callback", async function (req, res) {
const code = req.query.code
const next = req.query.next ?? "/"
if (code) {
const supabase = createServerClient(
process.env.SUPABASE_URL,
process.env.SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY, {
cookies: {
getAll() {
return parseCookieHeader(req.headers.cookie ?? '')
},
setAll(cookiesToSet, headers) {
cookiesToSet.forEach(({ name, value, options }) =>
res.appendHeader('Set-Cookie', serializeCookieHeader(name, value, options))
)
Object.entries(headers).forEach(([key, value]) =>
res.setHeader(key, value)
)
},
},
})
await supabase.auth.exchangeCodeForSession(code)
}
res.redirect(303, `/${next.slice(1)}`)
})
When your user signs out, call signOut() to remove them from the browser session and any objects from localStorage:
async function signOut() {
const { error } = await supabase.auth.signOut()
}
When your user signs out, call signOut() to remove them from the browser session and any objects from localStorage:
Future<void> signOut() async {
await supabase.auth.signOut();
}
Using Kakao Login JS SDK
Kakao Login JS SDK is an official Kakao SDK for authenticating Kakao users on websites.
Exchange the authorization code returned by Kakao API for an ID Token.
For example, this code shows a how to get ID Token:
const requestUrl = new URL(request.url);
const code = requestUrl.searchParams.get('code');
if (code) {
const res = await fetch('https://kauth.kakao.com/oauth/token', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=utf-8',
},
body: new URLSearchParams({
grant_type: 'authorization_code',
client_id: '<CLIENT_ID>',
redirect_uri: '<url>/api/auth/kakao/oidc',
code,
client_secret: '<CLIENT_SECRET>',
}),
});
const {id_token} = await res.json();
}
Use the ID Token to sign in:
const res = await auth.signInWithIdToken({
provider: 'kakao',
token: id_token,
});
Configuration
- Set State to "ON" under OpenID Connect Activation on the Kakao Developers portal.
- Add
openidto scope along with the scope values you wish to obtain consent for.
