Hello there, I'm trying to create an application that uses the same credentials as our users use in our forums for signing in. Is there a sample request on how to authenticate a user using their board credentials? I haven't found anything in the documentation regarding that, unfortunately. What I'm trying to do is: - The user is logging in to our application using their board credentials - I then fetch basic information from the users profile (such as custom fields and the e-mail address) - I fetch a few posts to display within the application Could anyone guide me to the right place in the documentation or the request flows? Thank you!
It's basic password grant type, see here https://aaronparecki.com/oauth-2-simplified/#others OAuth 2 Simplified This post describes OAuth 2.0 in a simplified format to help developers and service providers implement the protocol. aaronparecki.com For example, here is a request against xfrocks.com: Code: > curl -XPOST 'https://xfrocks.com/api/index.php?oauth/token' -d 'grant_type=password&client_id=xxx&client_secret=xxx&username=xxx&password=xxx' {"access_token":"xxx","expires_in":"3600","token_type":"Bearer","scope":"read post usercp conversate admincp","refresh_token":"xxx","user_id":123,"refresh_token_expires_in":1209600}
