Beskrywing

JSON API User extends the JSON API Plugin with a new Controller to allow RESTful user registration, authentication, password reset, RESTful Facebook Login, RESTful User Meta and BuddyPress xProfile get and update methods. This plugin is for WordPress/Mobile app developers who want to use WordPress as mobile app data backend.

JSON API Plugin, that is required, was closed on August 7, 2019 from WordPress repository. You can download JSON API Plugin from https://github.com/PI-Media/json-api until it is republished and available on WordPress.

Features include:

  • Generate Auth Cookie for user authentication
  • Validate Auth Cookie
  • RESTful User Registration
  • RESTful Facebook Login/Registration with valid access_token
  • RESTful BuddyPress xProfile fields update
  • Get User Meta and xProfile fields
  • Update User Meta and xProfile fields
  • Delete User Meta
  • Wagwoord Herstel
  • Get Avatar
  • Get User Info
  • Publiseer kommentaar

The plugin was created for mobile apps integration with the web app using WordPress as backend for all the data. WordPress helped in putting together the web app quickly and then Mobile iOS and Android apps were integrated via this plugin. There were some app specific customized methods which are not included but rest have been made generic for community usage.

My other JSON API Auth plugin has also been integrated with this plugin from version 1.1 because most endpoints required user authentication via cookie for data update.

Pro Version – JSON API User Plus

A pro version of this plugin, JSON API User Plus, is available here http://www.parorrey.com/solutions/json-api-user-plus/ that supports BuddyPress Messages component, BuddyPress avatar upload, BuddyPress Extended Profile, BuddyPress Groups, BuddyPress Friends, BuddyPress Activity, BuddyPress Notifications, BuddyPres Settings and other BuddyPress related functions to integrate BuddyPress features in your mobile app via REST api.

JSON API User Plus includes API key which protects and restricts the endpoint calls. This key can be updated from Settings > User Plus options page. Your app must include this key with every call to get the data from REST API. Please see documentation for calling endpoints examples for ‘JSON API User Plus’.

JSON API User Plus features include:

  • Generate Auth Cookie for user authentication
  • Validate Auth Cookie
  • RESTful User Registration
  • RESTful Facebook Login/Registration with valid access_token
  • RESTful BuddyPress xProfile fields update
  • Get User Meta and xProfile fields
  • Update User Meta and xProfile fields
  • Delete User Meta
  • Wagwoord Herstel
  • Get/Upload Avatar
  • Get User Info
  • Publiseer kommentaar
  • Add Post, Update Post, Delete Post
  • Add/Edit/Delete Custom Post Type, Custom Fields
  • Search User
  • BuddyPress Activities
  • BuddyPress Members
  • BuddyPress Friends
  • BuddyPress Notifications
  • BuddyPress Settings
  • & many more

Installation

First you have to install the JSON API for WordPress Plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/json-api/installation/).

To install JSON API User just follow these steps:

  • Upload the folder “json-api-user” to your WordPress plugin folder (/wp-content/plugins)
  • Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress or by using the link provided by the plugin installer
  • Activate the controller through the JSON API menu found in the WordPress admin center (Settings -> JSON API)

Kwel-vrae

  • There are following methods available: register, get_avatar, get_userinfo, retrieve_password, validate_auth_cookie, generate_auth_cookie, get_currentuserinfo, get_user_meta, update_user_meta, delete_user_meta, xprofile, xprofile_update, fb_connect

  • nonce can be created by calling if you are registering user. http://localhost/api/get_nonce/?controller=user&method=register

  • You can then use ‘nonce’ value to register user.

  • Always use POST method and not GET method to submit data, following url examples of GET method are only for demonstration purposes.

Method: info

http://localhost/api/user/info/

This returns plugin version.

Method: register

http://localhost/api/user/register/?username=john&email=john@domain.com&nonce=8bdfeb4e16&display_name=John&notify=both

To register user & get valid cookie for 100 seconds:
http://localhost/api/user/register/?username=john&email=john@domain.com&display_name=John&notify=both&seconds=100

Optional fields: ‘user_pass’, ‘user_nicename’, ‘user_url’, ‘nickname’, ‘first_name’, ‘last_name’, ‘description’, ‘rich_editing’, ‘user_registered’, ‘jabber’, ‘aim’, ‘yim’, ‘comment_shortcuts’, ‘admin_color’, ‘use_ssl’, ‘show_admin_bar_front’.

Please make sure you provide valid values that these fields expect in correct format.

To disbale registration email notification to user:

http://localhost/api/user/register/?username=john&email=john@domain.com&nonce=8bdfeb4e16&display_name=John&notify=no

To register with user provided password:

http://localhost/api/user/register/?username=john&email=john@domain.com&nonce=8bdfeb4e16&display_name=John&notify=both&user_pass=YOUR-PASSWORD

To add custom fields for user profile, send ‘custom_fields’ named associative array, populated with standard ‘meta_key’ as index and ‘meta_value’ as its value. For example, you need to add address and phone for any user, populate custom_fields[address] index with address value and custom_fields[phone] with hpone value.

You can add any number of custom fields. These are stored as meta_key and meta_value in user_meta WordPress table. You can access these values in WordPress using get_user_meta() fucntion.

You can also get these values with get_user_meta endpoint, see below this endpoint documentation.

Method: fb_connect

It needs valid ‘access_token’ var.

http://localhost/api/user/fb_connect/?access_token=CAACEdEose0cBADLKmcHWOZCnW4RGU8emG

Provide valid access_token with email extended permission. To generate test access_token, try this tool https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/ and select the app from above drop down that you want to get access_token (You must have joined that app already with email permission to generate access_token) for and then select email from the fields. By default, only ‘id’ and ‘name’ are added but you need to include ’email’ for user identification.

You will have to first allow extended permission for email in the app joining screen. Please note that above tool is only for testing, you generate valid access_token using the Graph API in your app. You should know Facebook Graph API to use this endpoint.

Method: validate_auth_cookie

It needs ‘cookie’ var.

http://localhost/api/user/validate_auth_cookie/?cookie=admin|43089754375034fjwfn39u8

Method: generate_auth_cookie

It needs username, password vars. seconds is optional.

First get the nonce: http://localhost/api/get_nonce/?controller=user&method=generate_auth_cookie

Then generate cookie: http://localhost/api/user/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/user/generate_auth_cookie/?username=john&password=PASSWORD-HERE&seconds=60

60 means 1 minute.

Method: delete_user_meta

It needs ‘cookie’ and ‘meta_key’ var and ‘meta_value’ to delete.

http://localhost/api/user/delete_user_meta/?cookie=COOKIE-HERE&meta_key=KEY-HERE&meta_value=VALUE-HERE

Method: update_user_meta

It needs ‘cookie’ and ‘meta_key’ var and ‘meta_value’ to update. You must include a ‘meta_value’ var in your request. If you have multiple values for any meta_key, you must send it as an array meta_value[] in POST method.

http://localhost/api/user/update_user_meta/?cookie=COOKIE-HERE&meta_key=KEY-HERE&meta_value=VALUE-HERE

Method: update_user_meta_vars

It needs ‘cookie’ and any user meta variables. This endpoint allows you cut http requests if you have to add/update more than one user_meta field at a time.

http://localhost/api/user/update_user_meta_vars/?cookie=COOKIE-HERE&website=user-website.com&city=Chicago&country=USA

In the above endpoint call, website, city, country are meta_key for WordPress user_meta. It is different from BuddyPress xProfile fields.

If you have multiple values for any variable, you must send it as an array i.e. variable_name[] in POST method. For instance, you have skills variable with multiple values, you will send a skills[] array with its values using POST method.

Method: get_user_meta

It needs ‘user_id’. ‘meta_key’ var is optional.

http://localhost/api/user/get_user_meta/?cookie=COOKIE-HERE&meta_key=KEY-HERE

Method: xprofile

It needs ‘user_id’ and any profile ‘field’ var.

http://localhost/api/user/xprofile/?user_id=USERID-HERE&field=FIELD-LABEL-HERE

Method: xprofile_update

It needs ‘cookie’ and any profile ‘field’ var and ‘value’.

http://localhost/api/user/xprofile_update/?cookie=COOKIE-HERE&exact-xprofile-field-label=value

http://localhost/api/user/xprofile_update/?cookie=COOKIE-HERE&field=value&field2=value&multi-value-field=value1,value2,value3

Please make sure you provide ending comma for all those fields which have multiple values. e.g. If ‘skills’ xProfile field has multiple values, pass them like
http://localhost/api/user/xprofile_update/?cookie=COOKIE-HERE&skills=PHP,MySQL, or &skills=PHP, make sure you always pass ending comma for multi-select fields to be added in array format.

Method: retrieve_password

It needs user_login var.

http://localhost/api/user/retrieve_password/?user_login=john

Method: get_avatar

It needs user_id var.

http://localhost/api/user/get_avatar/?user_id=1

Method: get_userinfo

It needs user_id var.

http://localhost/api/user/get_userinfo/?user_id=1

Method: post_comment

It needs ‘cookie’, ‘post_id’, ‘content’, ‘comment_status’ vars.

http://localhost/api/user/post_comment/?cookie=COOKIE-HERE&post_id=ID&content=Comment contents here&comment_status=1

Really great plug-in

Works well, great support

dleeward November 4, 2017
I paid for the paid version, User Plus for the admin usermeta features. I needed it to work without cookies and the developer made changes in a matter of a couple days. Fills the gap in the WP REST API shortcomings with users and usermeta.
