@julian Hi Julian, I would love this feature as we are running nodebb with a school and we require control over what's posted on the forum - i.e. no private messaging.

RE: Write-enabled API (Brainstorming)
Is there an update on the write API? Would be interesting to see how it's coming along.

fail-safe is more important than SEO
I agree with you there. It may be plugin territory too.

RE: Memory requirements for ~100 concurrent users
@julian Thanks very much for that. I'm going to set up a forum and do some testing in parallel to our current system. Maybe I'll publish results if they're interesting.

Is it possible to use OAuth to automatically log in to NodeBB if already logged in on the OAuth serving site?
What I'm trying to achieve is a seamless link between our current website to a NodeBB installation. So I want our site to manage whether or not a user has access to the NodeBB installaition. They would login via our site, and if authorised, would be able to visit the forum and be logged in automatically, without the need for manual authorisation. Is this possible?

For security, it will be a plugin, and it should be able to mimic anything built into NodeBB.
That's incredible news - can't wait!

RE: API reveries
@a_5mith Is there any word of the extent of the api? From what I've read so far, posts are on the menu, but I haven't heard anything about sessions, users, groups, etc.

API reveries
In my quieter moments I often dream of a comprehensive RESTful API for NodeBB. The features that I would like to see:
- Sessions management - to be able to login with
POST /sessions
would be incredible for logging in via third party apps - User management - CRUD on users and ability to add to groups
- Groups management - CRUD on groups
It seems to me that NodeBB has the opportunity to become so much more than a forum, freeing it from the constraints of orthodoxy to become a true communications platform. Plugins would be easier to write and therefore more prevalent. It just seems right...

RE: Is it possible to login programmatically?
@mootzville I guess I could do that, but I was hoping for the much easier and safter method of using the API. With the plans for the write API, we wanted to build our app around it, so that method is certainly preferable.

RE: Is it possible to login programmatically?
@mootzville There are categories that are only visible to admins. I want to grab the data from the api and use it in a separate app.

How would you go about logging in programmatically? Is there a sessions api URL or something similar?
