Generating a login email via API

[Falco]

@davidevans

What I’m looking to achieve is a sign-up process with as few steps as possible; as users sign up through another system I create the users in Discourse,

In this case the proper solution would be a invisible login setup using DiscourseConnect.

I’ve used the ‘API reverse engineer’ technique to try and get at it, but authenticating with a global API key simply returns the homepage and triggers nothing (and without the api key it looks like it requires session cookies to be set etc.).

Have you tried:

curl -X POST https://meta.discourse.org/u/email-login \
-H "Api-Key: longapikeyhere" \
-H "Api-Username: system" \
--data-raw 'login=email%40gmail.com'

?
