open identity provider directly with FusionAuth

Question

Im trying to make a button in my app that takes the user directly to the IDP, instead of going from my app to my auth provider where the user has to pick an IDP and then goes to the IDP.

I tried supplying the link with identityProviderId and the respective IDP ID, but that didn't work at all.

So how do I get the desired flow?

I would use the lookup API to get an authorization_endpoint for the relevant identity provider. Then I'd have the button point directly to the authorization_endpoint rather than the FusionAuth login page.
