Creating a way to log in/register an account on a website through Xbox Live

591 views Asked by At

I'm trying to find a way to allow users on my website to log in/create accounts by using their own Xbox Live Accounts through OAuth. I have read a bit here "Windows Live OAuth access XBox Live Info" that you can use the $20 "Xbox Live Creators Program" but I am skeptical. Other places I have read say you need special permission from Xbox in order to make this work, claiming that Xbox does not give out their API to anyone. I've looked into it but haven't found much luck. Has anyone had experience doing this?

It's possible to do what you're after without signing up for XBox Live Creator's Program.

The OpenXBox project offers, among other things, Python executables and code for authenticating a user using a Microsoft OAuth-based service.
