Hi, I am trying to understand whether the oauth module does provide a way to fetch the authenticated user information somehow (e.g. <http://whatever/me>) or propagate the token down the handlers chain/stack once the authFilter is satisfied.

You can use OAuthPersistence.retrieveToken to get the token after the authorisation flow. If you don't want to expose that persistence in various places, you can use a filter + request contexts to store the token directly in the in-flight request

Ok that’s what I thought, so there isn’t a filter or anything built-in, I have to provide one. Thanks for the suggestions @s4nchez, I think the filter + context is prob what I would go for.
