Django: SocialApp matching query does not exist

Question

I'm using django-allauth, and I configured localhost:9000/admin/ with the following details:

socialapp .
provider:
Name:
Client id:
App ID, or consumer key
Key:
Secret:  etc .

I set SITE_ID = 2 (because I changed the default site example.com to localhost:9000)

In settings.py:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
        'django.contrib.auth',
        'django.contrib.contenttypes',
        'django.contrib.sessions',
        'django.contrib.sites',
        'django.contrib.messages',
        'django.contrib.staticfiles',
        'django.contrib.admin',
        'uni_form',
        'allauth',
        'allauth.account',
        'allauth.socialaccount',
        'bootstrapform',
        # 'allauth.socialaccount.providers.twitter',
        # 'allauth.socialaccount.providers.openid',
         'allauth.socialaccount.providers.facebook',
    )
    SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = \
        { 'facebook':
            { 'SCOPE': ['email', 'publish_stream'],
              'AUTH_PARAMS': { 'auth_type': 'reauthenticate' },
              'METHOD': 'oauth2' ,
              'LOCALE_FUNC': 'path.to.callable'} }

When I go to:

http://localhost:9000/accounts/facebook/login

I get:

Error :  `SocialApp matching query does not exist.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Using the Django admin you need to create a SocialApp listing your Facebook app credentials. Make sure that this app is attached to the proper site (as in, django.contrib.sites.models.Site).

In your case, there needs to be a django.contrib.sites.models.Site instance with id=2 (check the sites admin) that is listed as a site for the SocialApp.

If either the SocialApp is missing, or if it is created but not attached to a site matching your settings.SITE_ID, then allauth does not know what app to pick, resulting in the error message you listed above.

thanks author i was missing django.contrib.sites.models.Site line – Dimphia

I couldn't get the admin panel to show my SITE's id, so I loaded it in a shell: from django.contrib.sites.models import Site and did a Site.objects.all() to see the list. Site.objects.get(id=2) was actually set to example, so I had to change my settings to 3, which was what my localhost was set to. – Om

I was getting this error in testing. This gave me a clue to the problem. In your set up you have to add from allauth.utils import get_current_site from allauth.socialaccount.models import SocialApp sa = SocialApp.objects.create(name='Facebook', provider='facebook') sa.sites.add(get_current_site()) – Meridional

Addendum to above. I also had to add my app's actual client_id and secret for testing the login of a Facebook test user. – Meridional

@AdamStarrh, to see the site ID in the admin panel just add admin.site.unregister(Site) and then class SiteAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = ('id', 'domain', 'name') and finally admin.site.register(Site, SiteAdmin) to your admin.py file. – Obscurantism

I do this: user$ python manage.py shell. Then from within the interactive prompt, I issue the following two commands: >>> from django.contrib.sites.models import Site and then >>> sorted([(site.id,site.name) for site in Site.objects.all()]). The output looks like: [(1, u'www.lvh.me'), (2, u'example.com'), (3, u'www.example.com'), (4, u'example.com:80'), (5, u'www.example.com:80')] – Cervicitis

Answer 2

For me, it showed this error when I had in settings.py:

SITE_ID = 1

It worked when I changed it to 2:

SITE_ID = 2

For me i changed it to 3 and it worked. – Barfield

Answer 3

In my case, on the Add social application page, I forgot to select my site as "Chosen sites" 🤦🏼‍♂️

See screenshot below (on the bottom right is the Chosen Sites list):

This worked after trying the other answers. – Barfield

Answer 4

Step 1: Go to your admin page. Find social application

Step 2: now add the lines like the following image. Give your client id and secret key given by google api and move available site (example.com) to chosen sites

Step 3: Now go to sites in the side navigation of admin page and customize like the following image and save it

Step 4: now, add, SITE_ID = 1 in settings.py file.

Answer 5

As an alternative to putting that into the admin, you can also put it in your settings like so: (At least in 2022 with version django-allauth==0.45.0

SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = {
    'discord': {
        # From https://developer.twitter.com
        'APP': {
            'client_id': os.environ['TWITTER_API_KEY'],
            'secret': os.environ['TWITTER_API_SECRET'],
            'key': os.environ['TWITTER_APP_ID'],
        }
    },
    'twitter': {
        # From https://developer.twitter.com
        'APP': {
            'client_id': os.environ['TWITTER_API_KEY'],
            'secret': os.environ['TWITTER_API_SECRET'],
            'key': os.environ['TWITTER_APP_ID'],
        }
    },
}

It is possible that Django created an 'example.com' site for you already (if it's not a new project). So if this is the case you will need to delete that entry from the Sites admin page AND change the SITE_ID in settings.py to be the correct ID (probably 2 rather than 1).

Consider playing around with the SITE_ID value. For example: SITE_ID = 3, etc.

FWIW, if configuration via the DB is giving you problems, note that you can also use configuration in settings:

SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = {
"google": {
    "APP": {
        "client_id": os.environ[("GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID"],
        "secret": os.environ[("GOOGLE_OAUTH_SECRET"],
    },
},
}

You gave multiple answers to the same question. Edit your first answer to incorporate all information. Also note that some hints could be provided as comment. – Gazelle

Answer 8

In my case
It worked me with SITE_ID = 4
SO what you need to do is keep on changing SITE_ID and keep stopping and restarting the server

Answer 9

This worked for me

    SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = {
    'google': {
        'SCOPE' : [
            'profile',
            'email'
        ],
        'APP': {
            'client_id': os.environ['CLIENT_ID'],
            'secret': os.environ['CLIENT_SECRET'],
        },
        'AUTH_PARAMS': {
            'access_type':'online',
        }
    }
}
