How to authorize client app?

@nmtake@lemm.ee

It seems OAuth2 hasn’t implemented yet. At this time, to get auth value, username and password are required:

# Python
url = 'https://<instance_name>/user/login'
data = {'username_or_email': username_or_email,
        'password': password}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
json = response.json()
auth = json['jwt']

Since the endpoint recieves JSON then returns JSON, you may need to send following HTTP headers explicitly:

Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json

Looking at the lemmy documentation I assumed they wanted form data and sent that along with application/x-www-form-urlencoded for the Content-Type.

As you mention what they actually want is JSON and application/json Content-Type.

Thanks for the info!
