Authenticating and Creating Users (back)
sgyves (5 months ago)
Firstly, I noticed that my current API key cannot create new users. How can I get it upgraded? Secondly, when I attempt to authenticate a viddler user for sessions and tokens....I get a 404 error. I have copied the sample call and replaced the parameters....I accept the certificate....but it comes back 404. Any additional things I need to know?

sgyves: Can you give me the URL of your call? Just as verification? - About being able to create users, can you and I setup a call? I have sent you a Viddler message with my mobile number.

Left you a message on your iPhone with my number. Call me back. Ohh...and here is my call for authenticating.
https://api.viddler.com/rest/v1/?method=viddler.users.auth&api_key=(notshown)&user=sgyves&password=(notshown)
of course is replaced by my current password. I have tried pasting it right into the browser as well and I get no XML response.

Left you a message on your phone with my number. As for my call to authenticate...here is what it looks like:
"https://api.viddler.com/rest/v1/?method=viddler.users.auth&api_key=(key)&user=sgyves&password=(pass)"
I cut and pasted this into the browser as well. I see the certificate, then it takes me to a 404 error.

Hi...this is still an issue...can I get some help??? What is it I am doing wrong with your documentation or API? I really do need a response on this issue. I can't work like this.

sgyves: Try it as a standard http:// call (instead of https://) and see if that helps.

is it possible to have my users upload or record videos on my Viddler account then store the vid id in my database so my users can play back their vids on my website? this way, there's no need for site owners to force their users to sign-up to Viddler.

I guess not
