## What it is
oauthd is the open source core of OAuth.io, a Node.js server that lets you self-host an OAuth integration layer supporting 100+ providers like Facebook, Twitter, and Stripe. It abstracts OAuth flows behind a simple unified API with an admin back office and a Git-based plugin system.

## Use cases
- self-host OAuth.io alternative for social login
- unify OAuth tokens across 100+ providers behind one API
- add Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn sign-in without handling OAuth flows
- make provider API calls on behalf of users with a unified request API
- manage OAuth apps and provider keys from a web back office
- restrict OAuth usage to specific domains for security

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted OAuth broker abstracting many providers
- you need unified API calls to social and SaaS provider APIs
- you want an extendable OAuth server with plugin support

## When to avoid
- you only need one or two OAuth providers and can integrate directly
- you need a modern actively developed solution with recent security patches
- you want a pure client-side OAuth library without running a server
