Authenticate BabylonJS forum users in my app

Hi!

I’d like to add an achievement especially for BabylonJS forum users in my Steam game so I need to somehow authenticate the user against the forum users database. Is this possible?

Thank you!

I believe it is possible with OAuth 2.0 but to be sure it is better to ask at Discourse forum (maybe there is some solution already):slight_smile:

Ok, I’ve checked the Discourse forum and some additional stuff needs to be installed on the server to make this working.

Patiently waiting for a response from someone managing the BabylonJS forum :slight_smile:

What would we need to add here? :open_mouth:

Hello @carolhmj!
I did a quick research on the Discourse forum. It allows to access certain user data using an API. Does our forum currently support this API? I would like to get the nickname and the avatar from the database for a given email address. Is this possible?
Thank you!

We are on a Discourse hosted service (that I personally pay) to make sure we can deliver a 24h/day quality service

So there are restrictions on the plugins and features we can enable. If you can tell us what plug-in you need (or what option to turn on) I’ll see if such option is available on our version of Discourse
