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.
You're viewing a single thread.
It seems OAuth2 hasn't implemented yet. At this time, to get
authvalue, username and password are required:# 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:
Content-Type: application/json Accept: application/jsonLooking 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!
