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)🙂

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 🙂

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

Hey David!  
Ok, I’ll dig deeper and collect all the details.  
Thank you!
