Since the api calls the standard login controller https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/controllers/write/utilities.js#L32 it behaves the same as someone going to /login and logging in.

@julian
for login api/v3/utilities/login
For registration /api/v3/users POST Method

Which should be used? For just auth system i required to use in another application!
I just add some feature there which should be available only for authenticated user.
Same user should be able to login in forum also with same credentials

@PitaJ said in How to call API from client side.:

require(['api', 'translator'], (api, translator) => {
// Your code here
});

genius! and fast reply!

@sebastián-cisneros In static:api.routes, you'll want to call controllerHelpers.setupAPIRoute to mount the route to the appropriate /api/v3/plugins mount point.

You can see an example of how we do it in the quickstart plugin

Yes, every page has a build hook based on the template it renders filter:<templateName>.build. In your case it would be filter:account/topics.build

@Yve-Salazar Are you still looking to distinguish between API calls via curl?

@antosik excellent. Thanks very much.

Hey!

Is it possible to post as Guest via the write API?

I tried to reply to a topic via:

const bodyParameters = { _uid: 0, content: "It works!" };

But it does not work. Is it possible to post as a Guest and set a username with the request or is it only possible to use the write api with a existing uid?

Looking forward to your answers.

Hi there -- not at present, no... however there's no reason why that can't be developed if you're interested in sponsoring the work. Reach out to us at [email protected] 🙂

@loopynid here's a better resource: BenchpressJS docs

If you go into the ACP and change the behaviour of teaser to "first", then the API will return data for the original post only.

No ideas? 😞

The link to the source of the plugin is : nodebb-plugin-ns-login

I want to replace the res.json(user); line 103 by the total unread for the user... but i'm not familiar with nodebb code architecture and don't know how to get this value... i hope somebody can help me^^

Thank you.
I did disable the option in the API-write module, and now it's working in a shell terminal when I send the above CURL command.
But when I try to use CURL in HTTPS within my PHP program,
I get this message (401) : A valid login session was not found. Please log in and try again.
I don't understand why I get this message, because :

I'm sending the Master token in the Header by calling the PHP function curl_setopt with the option CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER I try to send the credentials (login/password) by calling the PHP function curl_setopt with the option CURLOPT_USERPWD and login/password.

@pitaj said:

npm install

It works now. Thanks a lot for your help. Would have never figured out by myself:)

Awesome idea with this API btw, i almost gave up because i'm not familiar with nodejs, but when i found this plugin i realised that this is no longer an issue:)

Great work guys

Nodebb: API Extended

Just additional methods for the API.

Install

Install it via ACP or you can install it from NPM:

npm install nodebb-plugin-ns-api

Important note: extended API uses Write API tokens. It means, you should install write-api plugin and configure it.

LInks Plugin API Issues

Created a small plugin, to have access to all groups - https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4591/nodebb-plugin-ns-api-ns-api-extended

I will need upload functional in future plugin.
Is there any Upload API already in NodeBB ready for plugins use?
I would like to use ready to use solution, if any, before I will do it myself 😉
