Authentication For API Use

  • Hi,

    Can you please guide me regarding setting up an authentication for leveraging the API exposed by this plugin.
    I do not want that the api should be an open one and only authenticated/authorized clients should be able to leverage it.
    Let me know if more information is required from my end.

  • There are already some actions that cannot be performed without being logged into a valid user account. For example, you cannot edit or delete posts if you are not an authenticated user. But I think you can still get public WordPress content without logging in. There may be a way in WordPress to mark a post only available to logged in users. That should prevent the JSON API from returning that data. If not then it is a bug. Or if WordPress does not support that feature then you may need to add what you need to the core code base.

    Take a look at the core code base and this project, https://github.com/monkeypunch3/JSON-API-Plus. It will give you some ideas to adding your own authentication to different API calls. If you make any improvements please revert back.
