Authlink is a developer tool that provides an OAuth2 implementation for integrating Guilded as a login medium.
What is Authlink?
Authlink is an OAuth2 service for Guilded, built under the GuildedAPI GitHub organization. It provides an OAuth2 implementation that enables applications to accept Guilded accounts as a login method. The project includes publicly hosted API documentation at authlink.app/dev/docs, a demonstration app written in Remix, and a NextAuth integration package for Next.js applications. The service runs on Node.js.
Key Features

- NextAuth integration — The next-auth-guilded package adds Guilded as a provider in NextAuth.js setups for Next.js apps.
- Node.js scripts — The project uses npm commands:
npm install,npm run dev,npm run build, andnpm start. - Auto-reloading dev server — Running
npm run devwatches files and reloads automatically during development.
Who should use Authlink?
- Next.js developers who want to add Guilded sign-in to an app can use the next-auth-guilded package instead of writing the OAuth exchange manually.
- Remix developers can run the demonstration app as a reference for how Guilded OAuth redirects, callbacks, and sessions work.
- Guilded bot and community developers who maintain a website or dashboard can use Authlink to let members log in with their Guilded account.
