THIS SECTION IS OUTDATED AND VALID ONLY FOR OLD-MASTER BRANCH

Sessions

1. Authentication

1. Success

$ curl -d "username=test" -d "password=test" http://localhost:3000/v2/session
{
  "err": null,
  "status": "success",
  "user": {
    "id": "ecad21a5-45be-4eb8-9398-db51415992fb",
    "username": "test",
    "info": {
      "screenName": "test",
      "email": "[email protected]",
      "receiveEmails": "0"
    },
    "rss": []
  },
  "token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ1c2VySWQiOiI4NmM3MWNmZi0xNDQ2LTRhNDItOGJhYi00NGI5OGQ5ZDA3OTEiLCJpYXQiOjE0MTgxNDM4Mzl9.dPOV0GyHKmgs2PL7F9pYuZIjiF3xRsDZ3HGDaxMd4oo"
}

2. Failure

$ curl -d "username=test" -d "password=test" http://localhost:3000/v2/session
{
  "err": "user test doesn't exist",
  "status": "fail"
}

2. Registration

By default an unauthenticated user is an anonymous user and it cannot edit, delete its posts, comments and personal information, so in the examples below I assume we're passing "token=XXX" in addition to all other parameters. (e.g. -b "token=XXX" if it's POST request or "?token=" if it's GET request.)

1. Success

$ curl -d "username=test" -d "password=test" http://localhost:3000/v2/signup

    "username": "test",
    "info": {
      "screenName": "test"
    },
    "rss": []
  },
  "token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ1c2VySWQiOiI5ZTg4NjE3OC1mNGU1LTQ1OWItODhhZi04ZWYyZDY2ZjljYjEiLCJpYXQiOjE0MTgxNDM4ODV9.pf8AIeu3VYMMzzaDaJ3V-yHyTPnAwNwdFG2kMuXVut8"
