github provider not giving email address

And if it were the case that it was linked to the User but not the social identity, I should still be able to see it on the user somewhere. But there's no email anywhere on the user

In response to the questions in order:

What endpoint are you hitting that isn't returning the email?

https://boolai-oryx.us.kinde.com/api/v1/user query parameters: user id: {user_id} expand: 'identities' result w/o user info:

{
  "id": "",
  "picture": "",
  "last_name": "",
  "created_on": "",
  "first_name": "",
  "identities": [
    {
      "type": "oauth2:github",
      "identity": "{github_id}"
    }
  ],
  "is_suspended": false,
  "last_signed_in": "",
  "total_sign_ins": 5,
  "failed_sign_ins": 0
}

{
  "id": "",
  "picture": "",
  "last_name": "",
  "created_on": "",
  "first_name": "",
  "identities": [
    {
      "type": "oauth2:github",
      "identity": "{github_id}"
    }
  ],
  "is_suspended": false,
  "last_signed_in": "",
  "total_sign_ins": 5,
  "failed_sign_ins": 0
}

I get the github id only but no other info.

Can you check if the social identity scope is enabled in the ID token configuration?

Please kindly point me to where this exists, as there is no scope with any mention of "social" in the manage scopes ui for tokens. I have read:identities and read:user_identities scopes enabled.

Based on our findings, when GitHub does not provide an email address (e.g., if the user's email is set to private), Kinde prompts the user to enter an email manually. This email may not necessarily match their GitHub email, as we don’t have access to it. Additionally, the email captured this way is not automatically linked to the social identity in our system, which might explain why it's visible in the Kinde Management UI but not exposed via the Management API.

That's the opposite of what I'm seeing - I have the user who doesn't have an email address, but the github connection shows the email. For the user under "identities" there exists only "social", no "emails", and the one entry for social is "github" with the user's github attached email inside the github card.

i mean really what you should do is just tie the github email to the user on kinde end because you clearly have it

@Ages it seems that the github email address and username IS somehow stored on the kinde end but not exposed, because i can see it in the web portal. when i call the management api and search for the user, i can get the github id from identities but no other information. can you just expose whatever it is you're doing to get this info???
