Tools & Settings: API Users
Submitted Mark, Apr 27 2010 06:46 AM | Last updated May 25 2010 03:39 AM
The XML-RPC API allows developers to make XML-RPC calls to IP.Board for information.
These tools are for developers only. Most users can ignore these features.
All API calls submitted must be associated with an XML-RPC API user. These users can be managed from Admin CP --> System --> API Users.
This page will display all API users currently created, and allow you to create new ones.
When creating an API user, an "API User Key" will be automatically generated - take note of this as you will need it when making calls.
You will then need to fill in the user title, and optionally an IP address.
The title is used for your own purposes only to differentiate that user from other users created.
The IP address allows you to restrict that user to only be valid for requests made from a specific IP address. This should be the IP address of the server sending the requests. It is strongly recommended that you use this feature so that even if a malicious user uncovers the user key, they cannot submit API calls.
You will also need to specify which functions the user can access. Calls will only work to functions which the user has been allowed to access.
Once you have created your user, see this article for developer documentation on how to make XML-RPC API calls.
