How to authorize client app?
I'm working on an macOS client app and was curious what was needed to authorize/login a user to get a token for the auth header?
The lemmy documentation for login doesn't seem to work (sends 400 response back) and it also doesn't seem to work with oauth?
I got oauth working for mastodon but those same endpoint calls don't seem to work for lemmy.
It seems OAuth2 hasn't implemented yet. At this time,
to get auth value, username and password are required:
undefined
# Python
url = 'https://<instance_name>/user/login'
data = {'username_or_email': username_or_email,
'password': password}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
json = response.json()
auth = json['jwt']
Since the endpoint recieves JSON then returns JSON, you may need to send following HTTP headers explicitly:
undefined
Content-Type: application/json Accept: application/json
Looking at the lemmy documentation I assumed they wanted form data and sent that along with application/x-www-form-urlencoded for the Content-Type.
As you mention what they actually want is JSON and application/json Content-Type.
Thanks for the info!
Can you share a minimal reproducible error of your Login functions?
