How to implement VPPA

For users who have accepted VPPA but it has expired and for users who have activated Passport but have never accepted VPPA, you can simply add “vppa” as a scope to PBS Account. When combined, “scope=account+vppa” instructs PBS Account to check a user’s VPPA acceptance. If the user is a Passport member and has not accepted VPPA, they will be required to accept VPPA to continue using Passport. If the user’s VPPA is expired, meaning the last assent was more than two years ago, they will also be prompted to accept VPPA.
Sample URL

https://account.pbs.org/oauth2/authorize/?scope=account+vppa&redirect_uri=YOUR-DOMAIN/pbsoauth/callback/&response_type=code&client_id=YOUR-CLIENT-ID&activation=true

VPPA check during activation

If the VPPA check is being done during activation, there is a separate query parameter: “&activation=true.” This forces the VPPA assent modal. It needs to be used in conjunction with the “vppa” scope outlined in the previous section. Each example below is tailored to each activation option - PBS Account, Facebook, and Google. 
Activating with PBS Account - Sample URL

https://account.pbs.org/oauth2/authorize/?scope=account+vppa&redirect_uri=YOUR-DOMAIN/pbsoauth/callback/&response_type=code&client_id=YOUR-CLIENT-ID&activation=true


Activing with Facebook - Sample URL

https://account.pbs.org/oauth2/social/login/facebook/?scope=account+vppa&redirect_uri=YOUR-DOMAIN/pbsoauth/callback/&response_type=code&client_id=YOUR-CLIENT-ID&activation=true


Activating with Google - Sample URL

https://account.pbs.org/oauth2/social/login/google-oauth2/?scope=account+vppa&redirect_uri=YOUR-DOMAIN/pbsoauth/callback/&response_type=code&client_id=YOUR-CLIENT-ID&activation=true
