Access token from Social Login

I am migrating from Supabase. Everything works well until I tried to find out how can I get the provider token (from Google) after a successful login. I am using more roles on login and then after I want to use the token to authenticate to some Gmail APIs.

I tried to get on

authClient.useSession

authClient.useSession

and

authClient.listAccounts()

authClient.listAccounts()

. Is there a way?

I am using Hono on backend and React with Vite on frontend.

In Supabase you could get from their session. More info about it and specifically what I want: https://supabase.com/docs/guides/auth/social-login#provider-tokens

Better Auth doesn't expose the provider tokens on the client. You can make an endpoint and fetch the accounts table.

Hmmm, looks good. Does the provider token gets automatically refreshed? @bekacru

If not, do you know how I can manually do it?

currently you'd need to do it manually. But this PR will get merged soon!
