FAQ
Thanks to ‘mattberg’ who wrote the auth controller (https://github.com/mattberg/wp-json-api-auth) initially. I have added few methods and authored it as a WordPress plugin so that it could easily be searched and installed vis WordPress.
-
There are following methods available: validate_auth_cookie, generate_auth_cookie, clear_auth_cookie, get_currentuserinfo
-
nonce can be created by calling http://localhost/api/get_nonce/?controller=auth&method=generate_auth_cookie
-
You can then use ‘nonce’ value to generate cookie. http://localhost/api/auth/generate_auth_cookie/?nonce=f4320f4a67&username=Catherine&password=password-here
-
Use cookie like this with your other controller calls: http://localhost/api/contoller-name/method-name/?cookie=Catherine|1392018917|3ad7b9f1c5c2cccb569c8a82119ca4fd
For instance, you have a new controller ‘events’ and want to allow users to post new ‘event’ using ‘add_event’ method.
This is how you will call the end point with cookie and post the event with user info:
http://localhost/api/events/add_event/?cookie=Catherine|1392018917|3ad7b9f1c5c2cccb569c8a82119ca4fd
If you want sample code how it can be done, check ‘JSON API User’ plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/json-api-user/. This Auth plugin is part of JSON API User plugin.

It needs ‘cookie’ var.
http://localhost/api/auth/validate_auth_cookie/?cookie=Catherine|1392018917|3ad7b9f1c5c2cccb569c8a82119ca4fd
-
It needs
username
,password
vars.seconds
is optional.Then generate cookie: http://localhost/api/auth/generate_auth_cookie/?username=john&password=PASSWORD-HERE
Optional ‘seconds’ var. It provided, generated cookie will be valid for that many seconds, otherwise default is for 14 days.
generate cookie for 1 minute: http://localhost/api/auth/generate_auth_cookie/?username=john&password=PASSWORD-HERE&seconds=60
60 means 1 minute.
