API Validation not user login

    I love the idea of this plugin but am looking for something slightly different.

    I have an external membership database and can query via an API to see if a user is current or not.

    I would love this plugin so simply call the API and let me know if the user is active or not. I can then allow people to get content from my site.

    Security is not the goal here, just making it harder for people to take stuff without knowing the username of a valid member.

    Hi @millesm,

    So little of the plugin handles what you need and it’s quite a custom thing you’re looking for. I’d recommend you have read of this article (which is what I based the plugin on).

    Yours will be super simple with just a basic API request and can all be handled in one file.

    I’ll mark this as resolved for now as this is outside the scope of the plugin and I hope I’ve pointed you in the right direction.

    I’d love to hear how you get on, and if you have any more questions feel free to post back here also ??

    Thanks,

    Tom
