Currently, Dev Identify fetches data from:

• Google

• Google Plus (Requires extra setup)

We're working on adding more sources soon.

Customizing Dev Identify

Dev Identify contains a utility class which you can use to create any feature you can dream of or even change the default source ordering logic.

var dev = new devIdentify.utility(optionalGooglePlusKey)


dev.identify(email) //Identifies email

dev.checkGravatar(email) //Only checks Gravatar.

dev.checkGoogle(email) //Only checks Google.

dev.checkGooglePlus(googleId) //Only checks Google Plus.

dev.validateEmail(email) //Validates email address format (BOOL)

All the dev.check functions return an associative array with a success boolean. If the request was successful, they will also contain name, profile_picture and source key/values.

The dev.identify() function returns the same format as the dev.check functions except if the request was unsuccessful, it will also contain an error key and value.
